Hell is having to execute a pointless act from which nothing ever comes except the need to do it again.

There are some needs only you can see. There are some hands only you can hold. There are some people only you can reach.

People are messy; therefore, relationships will be messy. Don't be surprised by messiness.

The basic purpose of prayer is not to bend God's will to mine, but to mold my will into His.

How do you change your behavior? Change what you worship

The gospel is not only the way to enter the kingdom; it is the way to live in the kingdom.

To preach the gospel is to show people their need for salvation against a backdrop of God's nature and the character of sin, and then present Jesus as the only remedy for what ails them and the world. In my weekly preaching in the worship services I always call people to believe in Christ.
