Buckle up - and hold on ....
I look in my eyes and I find the mirror of need and strife.
I look in religion's eyes and I find the book of law and disapproval.
I look in the eyes of the world and I find the list of lack and inadequacy.
I look in God's eyes and I find the fire of grace, love and joy.

Rest is not the absence of action. Rest is the presence of faith.
God does not have love - God is love. Because if He only had love, He could retain, keep, deny love. But He is love and there's nothing He can do but love. 1 John 4:16
When life hits you upside the head remember: the game is tough but play on, the umpire is on your side!
Mohammed is dead. Buddah is dead. Moses is dead. Marx is dead. Frank Sinatra is dead.
Death, where are your shackles? Where is your sting? The grave couldn't hold the King. Jesus is alive!
Death, where are your shackles? Where is your sting? The grave couldn't hold the King. Jesus is alive!
There is a "magic" moment when God bypasses all my shortcomings, flaws and inabilities and uses me anyway.
The cloud on the horizon can empty tomorrow of its promise, today of its beauty and yesterday of its tenderness - or simply blow away!
Relax, God loves you now, not a future version of you.
He reveals enough of Himself to make it easy to see Him yet He hides enough of Himself to always desire more of Him.
Courage is contagious. When a man takes a stand, the spines of others are stiffened!
I am Jesus, I 'm your friend.
When life is like a song sung out of tune,
I am Jesus, I'm your friend.
When you think it's all over and evening has come,
I am Jesus, I'm your friend.
When the bottle is empty and the pills are finished,
I am Jesus, I'm your friend.
In the midst of tragedy, while the tears area flowing,
I am Jesus, I'm your friend.
When all have left you and the mirror is dark,
I am Jesus, I'm your friend.
Up or down, winning or losing,
I am Jesus, I'm your friend.

There is a place where I can go when I've messed up. A place where I can warm myself when the outside is cold - and damp. A place where I can hide when it feels like pain is really looking for me. A place where accusations can't reach me and condemnations don't hurt me. A place of safety and a place of beauty. A place where I can hear the heartbeat of my Creator - and rest.
That place is called "God's grace".
That place is called "God's grace".
Religion describes a distant god of paper and rules and instructs us to go to him. The Gospel presents a loving God of mercy and truth and informs us He has come.
Worship is the "thank you" that cannot be silenced.
Religion builds a fire beneath you, Christ lights a fire inside you.
Joy is the believer's secret weapon.
