God does Big Things with Small Deeds
God inhabits the tiny seed, empowers the tiny deed. He cures the common life by giving no common life, by offering no common gifts. Don't discount the smallness of your deeds.

It’s All about Me
The self-centered see everything through self. Their motto? “It’s all about me!” To the self-centered– the flight schedule, the traffic, the worship styles—everything is filtered through the mini-me in the eye. Philippians 2:3-4 says,“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one

His Perfect Love
If God loved us with an imperfect love, we would have high cause to worry. Imperfect love keeps a list of sins and consults it often. God keeps no list of our wrongs. His love casts out fear because he casts out our sin. Tether your heart to this promise, and tighten the knot.

Resources
By faith we need to gladly, freely, fully, and gratefully cast ourselves upon His resources without reservation—He is the all-sufficient One Who never changes, Who never faints or grows weary, Who never slumbers or sleeps, and Who is the keeper of His people from this time forth and forever more.

Two Sticks of Dynamite
I remember the day a couple called me over to pray with them in a specific situation. I made the appointment. I listened. And I prayed. Yet when I left I had the sense that my prayer had not gone past the ceiling. I felt frustrated.

Ask What You Will
Prayer has always been the breath, life, vitality, strength and power of the Christian.

Dying to Hear
There are many struggling people in the world who are literally dying to hear the Gospel — but there’s no one willing to tell them. They are lost and on their way to hell. We have the ability to give them the good news that could save their lives, but do we chose to tell them? Or do we go about our own agenda instead?

Faith Believes
Faith believes that what God says will take place without a shadow of a doubt. Faith believes that we will see the promises of God unfold even when it looks impossible. Faith believes in what we can’t see, and knows it is there.

Attribution Error
As Christians, we’re not to drag our brothers and sisters before God to be punished or examined under a holy microscope. We are to forgive them, just as Christ forgave all of us on the hard wood of the cross as He bled for us…and them, too. After all, we probably need forgiveness for something we have done or said, too.

The Power of Worship
As we walk through these challenging days of change in our world, both globally and personally, I am amazed with the direction the Lord gives us in His word. I was comforted by the fact that God has already let us know in Hebrews 12:26 that everything that can be shaken will be shaken so that only that which cannot be shaken will stand.

Don’t Make it Too Personal
Belonging to God’s family can be a gentle rain on the desert of our loneliness. God, our Father, is ours because we are not the only believer left on earth. No matter how alone we may feel, we know that there are many others who worship Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Praise God for Answered Prayer
Praise is the most heavenly of Christian duties. The angels do not pray, but they never cease to praise both day and night. To be silent over God's mercies is to incur the guilt of ingratitude
