“Who knows who’s waiting right now for one of us to invite them into God’s family?”

The stakes are too high for us to die with a small vision.

It’s horrifying and absurd to think that there are currently more slaves on earth than at any other time in human history.

No big shocker that following Jesus is costly. The best things in life always are.

God doesn’t call people to a job description, He calls people to Himself and His mission in the world.

Brokenness is the bow from which God launches the arrow of healing.

It’s not that we should declare the praises of God. It’s that we may.

But to mean it when I say that I want my life to count for His glory is to drive a stake through the heart of self – a painful and determined dying to me that must be a part of every day I live.

It is not God’s will that you limp along in life believing that you are inadequate.

God is always seeking you. Every sunset. Every clear blue sky. Each ocean wave. The starry hosts of night. He blankets each new day with the invitation, ‘I am here.’

Even if we don’t see it, God is always working underneath the surface, behind the scenes and orchestrating His plans and purposes.

If only we knew what was happening when we pray, we would never cease to pray.

There is a direct correlation between your appreciation of what Christ has done for you and the expression of worship.

Yet, Jesus is selfless in the way He gives His life away for you. So if your gaze is on Him, you will treat others as He is treating you.

God isn’t waiting on our memo. He is waiting on us to focus enough on Him that we get His memo.

I’m dead in the water if I can’t see the all sufficient glory of God.

If only everyone could know we’ve been created by and for God! If only we could all comprehend that we’re precious to Him, housing mirrored souls designed to reflect His glory.

When a writer is born into a family, the family is finished.

People think I have courage. The courage in my family are my wife Pam, my three daughters, here, Nicole, Jamie, LeeAnn, my mom, who’s right here too.

Rock ‘n’ roll accepted me and paid me, even though I loved the big bands I went that way because I wanted a home of my own. I had a family. I had to raise them. Let’s don’t leave out the economics. No way.

Stay out of the sun, because it is the worst thing in terms of aging. I’m very medical. I come from a medical family.

The most important thing in life will always be family. The people right here, right now.

If you take care of the woman in the family, the whole family prospers. But when the mother falters, the family falls apart.

I love spending time with my family and friends during the holidays, and my favorite holiday tradition would be the pozole that my mom makes almost every Christmas. It’s the best!

There’s something to be said for going back to a simple form of living-nature and family. There’s something very there’s safety in that.
