Are You Asking The Right Questions?

"In my mind there are two ways to ask this question. One way is a fear-controlled response to an unpleasant situation like, "GOD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" The other way is with the child like characteristic of asking, "God, what are you doing?" Just as parents encourage their children to ask questions, so also God encourages us in the same manner. Jesus himself said, "Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter it." Does that include child like questions as well? I believe it does, for the Father invites questions that lead to a greater understanding of His will for us."

Tomorrow Is Never Guaranteed

"Should the quickness of a death that must come to us all be cause for added grief? Perhaps. But perhaps it would do us all well to remember that the next moment is never guaranteed. And perhaps it would do us all well to know there is a death worse than what I experienced in that room. One that does not strike with speed, but numbness.

Far worse than the buried dead are those who have perished and yet still walk. Those who have yielded to the crushing weight of the world, who have surrendered their hopes and dreams to the arid winds of despair. Who have seen too much darkness and so surrendered their light, believing it to be too faint to matter."

God Knows

"Whatever that impossible thing is out in front of you that causes you fear while you hear the enemy gains on you from behind—there is a pathway. I may not see it yet and you may not see it yet, but God has mapped out a miracle for you. That doesn’t mean it will turn out the way your human brain thinks it will (that rarely happens), but if we follow, He always leads us into triumph."

How Do You See?

"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."

- C.S. Lewis

Christ-Life Inside Us

"A Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble - because the Christ-life is inside him, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repent (in some degree) the kind of voluntary death wich Christ Himself carried out."
