- 10 years ago today, in a hospital in Philly, I was told I was in acute renal failure. Six surgeries followed, weakening my body with each surgery until I didn't think I would make it. The last 10 years have been an amazing and undeserved gift from God. I am healthy and strong
- George Floyd. Not another name, not another statistic, not a news story. He is a man made in the image of God. Church rise up, silence is not an option. God has commissioned us to represent him in the face of injustice. Speak out. Lord please intervene. Lord help us!
- This pandemic, or any other form of trouble, doesn’t make us more dependent on God, it simply reveals to us how dependent we have always been.
- If you are a Christian and the thing you mediate on and celebrate the most is politics and not the gospel, you have lost your way. (Psalm 1)
- Just in case you wondered, God’s mercies will be new every morning in 2022.
- No, your world is not out of control, it’s just out of your control.
- The whole Bible, from beginning to end, is about the Messiah born in Bethlehem.
- If you’re greeted every morning with God’s new mercies, shouldn’t you greet the people around you the same way.
- When you pray, remember that the power of prayer is not in the beauty of the words or the righteous deeds of the one praying, but in the character and power of the one being prayed to.
- Confession of weakness is a sign of spiritual maturity. It’s the immature who hold onto the delusion of independent strength.
- Don’t congratulate yourself for your spiritual awareness, your biblical knowledge or your theological understanding. These are all generously given gifts of God’s grace. Your eyes, heart and mind are open, because God chose to place his love on you.
- The Bible isn’t a book of heroes. No, it’s the story of one hero, everyone else was flawed and needy, only made usable and strong by the grace and power of God.
