“The only wounds that define us are the wounds of Jesus Christ.”

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.’

If there’s a perfect family out there, we’re all happy for that family. But most families aren’t perfect. Most families are living with some sort of challenge or some sort of difficulty.

It’s not the elements of our worship that are awesome. It’s the object of our worship Who is awesome.

God calls each and every star by name. It’s not likely He has forgotten yours.

It is because of our foolishness that we forget who God is.

True definition of science: the study of the beauty of the world.

God’s definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.
