I've never really prided myself as being quick on my feet.

When God looks at you, he doesn’t see you he sees the One who surrounds you. That means that failure is not a concern for you. Your victory is secure.

Your goal is not to know every detail of the future. Your goal is to hold the hand of the One who does and never, ever let go.

Thats usually what I gravitate to, I read The Perfect Storm, then I read Into Thin Air .

The apostle Paul never seemed to exhaust the topic of grace - what makes us think we can? He just kept coming at it and coming at it from another angle. That's the thing about grace. It's like springtime. You can't put it in a single sentence definition, and you can't exhaust it.

Trust God's love. His perfect love. Don't fear He will discover your past. He already has. Don't fear disappointing Him in the future. He can show you the chapter in which you will. With perfect knowledge of the past and perfect vision of the future, He loves you perfectly in spite of both.

Grace is God as heart surgeon, cracking open your chest, removing your heart - poisoned as it is with pride and pain - and replacing it with his own.

If you knew Jesus was coming tomorrow, what would you do today? Then do it!

I could easily go through all my books and mark the ones that were original, mark the ones that were adapted or pre-published that I've found. I'm guessing though that probably 75% of them are personal events. I just love a personal story.

God loves people just the way they are, but He loves them too much to leave them that way!

I do not know when Christ is coming back. No one knows. But I do think the environment is getting more and more to the point where we can look for his return.

Others have promised and failed. But God has promised and succeeded. He loves you with an unfailing love.

Our tendency is to be converted to church and not to Christ.

Have you been called to go out on a limb for God? You can bet it won't be easy. Limb-climbing has never been easy. Ask Joseph. Or, better yet, ask Jesus. He knows better than anyone the cost of hanging on a tree.

We've been taught that the Christian life is a life of peace, and when we don't have peace, we assume the problem lies within us. Not only do we feel anxious, but we also feel guilty about our anxiety! The result is a downward spiral of worry, guilt, worry, guilt.

Off to one side sits a group of shepherds. They sit silently on the floor, perhaps perplexed, perhaps in awe, no doubt in amazement. Their night watch had been interrupted by an explosion of light from heaven and a symphony of angels. God goes to those who have time to hear him-and so on this cloudless night he went to simple shepherds.

I don't think God is a gender. He presents himself as a father but he comes to us with the tenderness of a mother. In some of the parables, he is the housewife who cleans the house looking for the lost coin.

I believe a personal relationship with God is healthy, but organized religion has potential for danger, in whatever faith.

It's one thing for me to tell people not to worry. It's another thing entirely to quote Matthew 6, where Jesus says, Why do you worry? The birds of the air, the flowers of the field... He says, I tell you, do not worry.
