Quote

God knows just the place where you'll be placed. He has a barren living room in desperate need of warmth and joy. A corner of the world needs some color. He selected you with that place in mind.

Just when the truth about life sinks in, His truth starts to surface. He takes us by the hand and dares us not to sweep the facts under the rug but to confront them with him at our side.

Don't be defined by your failures, be refined by them.

Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leave you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing, and listen as Heaven whispers, Do you like it? I did it just for you.

In this post-modern culture in which we live - where people question absolute truth - stories are resistant to platitudes they're resistant to me making declarations of truth to them. A story can do that in kind of a Trojan-horse fashion.

Courage does not panic it prays. Courage does not bemoan it believes. Courage does not languish it listens

I choose joy... I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical... the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.

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.

There is no way our little minds can comprehend the love of God. But that didn't keep him from coming.

Image
No place is too common. No person is too hardened. No distance is too far. There's no person God cannot reach. There's no limit to his love.

Image
God didn't overlook your sins, lest he endorse them. He didn't punish you, lest he destroy you. He instead found a way to punish the sin and preserve the sinner. Jesus took your punishment, and God gave you credit for Jesus' perfection.

It's not about winning or losing, but love and respect.

You present a challenge to Satan's plan. You carry something of God within you, something noble and holy, something the world needs - wisdom, kindness, mercy, skill. If Satan can neutralize you, he can mute your influence.

God is near whether you sense His presence or not.

I think there is something about a story that is enduring. Stories take on a life of their own.

The difference between mercy and grace? Mercy gave the prodigal son a second chance. Grace gave him a feast.

Image
To see sin without grace is despair. To see grace without sin is arrogance. To see them in tandem is conversion.

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

I don't have a lot of time in the sermon anyway. The sermon is only 25 minutes, which to me is frighteningly short. So I feel as if I need to get into that pretty quickly and make it as practical and accessible as possible.

Hope is not a granted wish or a favor performed no it is far greater than that. It is a zany, unpredictable dependence on a God who loves to surprise us out of our socks.
