We may speak about a place where there are no tears, no death, no fear, no night but those are just the benefits of heaven. The beauty of heaven is seeing God.

Confession is the act of inviting God to walk the acreage of our hearts. “There is a rock of greed over here, Father. I can’t budge it. And that tree of guilt near the fence? Its roots are long and deep. And may I show you some dry soil, too crusty for seed?” God’s seed grows better if the soil of the heart is cleared.

If today were your last, would you do what you're doing? Or would you love more, give more, forgive more? Then do so! Forgive and give as if it were your last opportunity. Love like there's no tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes, love again.

I think we live in slavery to fear. Most people don't have an answer to the death question and really don't even have a philosophy. That is a puzzle to me. I think even if I was not a Christian, I would want to at least have a personal solution to the death question. Otherwise, death is just a frightening thing.

You may be transferred, enlisted, commissioned, reassigned, or hospitalized - but brand this on your heart - you can never go where God is not.

Forgiveness doesn't diminish justice it just entrusts it to God. He guarantees the right retribution.

A story does that: it will reach out and hook somebody and hold them for just a few moments while you unpack this story in their presence.

To call yourself a child of God is one thing. To be called a child of God by those who watch your life is another thing altogether.

Refusing to forgive is like ingesting a lethal dose of poison and hoping it kills my enemy.
