“your right standing with God and your connection to Him remains your strongest defense in the day of calamity.”

“Rather, your smartness and your effectiveness depend on how well you capitalize on your strongest connections.”

“At the end of the day your ability to connect with your readers comes down to how you make them feel.”

“Stand before your god, bow before your king, kneel before your man.”

“Stop worrying about whether or not you are exhibiting grace or rightly serving others. I can tell you right now, you are terrible at it. Your grace and your mercy are weak and misinformed and inadequate. Your version of mercy is that you were holding a stone but have been shamed into dropping it. Your life as a Christian will roll along much easier if you will let Jesus stand with you, if you will realize that He loves YOU, that he defends YOU, that He knows you are in the wrong and He still persits with your defense. Then you will know the release of having the defender and lover of your soul give you the life-giving freedom to go your way and sin no more. When you have tasted the incredible rush of having teh One who is just and the justifier of your soul stand stand with you in your defense, when you realize that He will persit in loving your forever, you will rush in your excitement and freedom, to bring others to drink the rich nectar of His perfect love. This is the true Christian life, full of freedom, assurance, and love”

“Each day is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift to Him.”
