There is a difference between grace and mercy. Mercy is the decision of God not to punish us. But grace is the decision of God to save and bless us.

Because of Bethlehem, I have a friend in heaven.

Sometimes when you read the Bible, you find yourself asking, How does this book know that about me? How does it know that about our world - especially when it was written so long ago?

Jesus humbled himself. He went from commanding angels to sleeping in the straw. From holding stars to clutching Mary's finger. The palm that held the universe took the nail of a soldier. Why? Because that's what love does. It puts the beloved before itself.

The most powerful life is the most simple life. The most powerful life is the life that knows where it's going, that knows where the source of strength is it is the life that stays free of clutter and happenstance and hurriedness.

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.

I just love preaching.

Image
Pastoring the flock with words. I love that. We always have a prayer time in the middle of our service. We take about eight or ten minutes before I preach, after we've sung, and invite people to come forward for prayer. That's a tender moment to me. I don't preach much in that, but I like to speak to the people.
