Bread of Life? Jesus lived up to the title. But an unopened loaf does a person no good. Have you received the bread? Have you received God’s forgiveness?
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done – but simply because you are.
The church is never a place to show off. Do your good deeds quietly. Serve; don’t seek to be seen.
The greater your cares, the more genuine your prayers.
Worry is to joy what a Hoover vacuum cleaner is to dirt: might as well attach your heart to a happiness-sucker and flip the switch.
Nails didn’t hold God to a cross. Love did.
God is kind, but he is not soft. He takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life change.
Anger is the noise of the soul; the unseen irritant of the heart; the relentless invader of silence.
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.
We forget that IMPOSSIBLE is one of God’s favorite words.
God answers the mess of life with one word: Grace.
The mind that is full of God is empty of anxiety. Are you troubled, restless, sleepless? Then think of God more!
When God is all you have, then all you have, is all you need.
Feed your fears and your faith will starve. Feed your faith, and your fears will.
Faith is the bird that sings while it is yet dark.
God has the final word on your life and His word is grace.
Let’s be the people who look at the hurting until we hurt with them. No hurrying past, turning away, or shifting of eyes. No pretending or glossing over. Let’s look at the face until we see the person.
But it is in storms that God does his finest work, for it is in storms that God has our keenest attention.
The meaning of life. The wasted years of life. The poor choices of life. God answers the mess of life with one word: ‘grace.’
