It is not about doing what we feel like. It is about doing what God says.
What has he found who has lost God? And what has he lost who has found God?
Why don't you read the Good News of God.
I don't know about you, but I want God to reveal the second step before I take the first step of faith. But I've discovered that if I don't take the first step, God generally won't reveal the next...
It was a small church. No large cathedral towers overshadowed the purpose of the house of worship. It was a monument to faith rather than a monument to man's triumph over nature.
We are the children of gods and angels.
I would not have been able to articulate it at that time, but I had begun a painful journey toward an impossible goal, a journey that lasted a long time: how to love a God who hurts you.
Betty realized that when it came to relationships with other human beings, she would always feel alone. And yet there was this place โ this small special place inside of her โ a place where quiet...
Prayer is not meant to always give us the answers we want. It is not the resting place upon which the scales of our faith and trust are balanced. It is not the reason for faith, but rather the result...
Sometimes it takes heartache to put you on the path toward making your heart full.
Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch. Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark.
I often think of life as a great darkened room with a mammoth - sized tapestry fastened to a stone wall. I believe true peace can be achieved not in viewing the whole tapestry, but in accepting...
You must first feel sorry for your sins, to seek the free gift of grace of salvation.
When God said 'Let there be light', maybe he meant it inside.
Faith, in its most correct form, never removes responsibility; it removes fear of responsibility. The results are complete opposites with the greater saying, 'God's will is my delight.'
The Lord is God. God is Holy.
Jesus said, 'Enter into My rest' and let God do what He does best
I will have nothing to do with a God who cares only occasionally. I need a God who is with us always, everywhere, in the deepest depths as well as the highest heights. It is when things go wrong, when...
In life, at sometime or another we come to a point where all relationships cease - where there is only us and Allah. There are no parents, brother or sister, or any friend. Then we realise that there...
God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.
He had what we often lack - the maturity to see that faith isn't something you either have or don't have, but something that ebbs and flows in the life and soul of every individual. Doubt isn't the...
'R'hllor, come to us in our darkness,' she called. 'Lord of Light, we offer you these false gods, these seven who are one, and him the enemy. Take them and cast your light upon us, for the night is...
There is nothing wrong with you. God asks the most of those he loves best.
Acknowledging the interpreted status of the gospel should translate into a certain humility in our public theology. It should not, however, translate into skepticism about the truth of the Christian...
The strength of patience hangs on our capacity to believe that God is up to something good for us in all our delays and detours.
I do believe that God is with us even when we're at our craziest and that this goodness guides, provides, and protects.
Imperfect, but Perfectly Loved
We should want Him more than anything. If we seek Him first, then all other things will be added to our lives.
Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" {NKJV}. Just
Sacraments are like hoses. They are the channels of the living water of God's grace. Our faith is like opening the faucet. We can open it a lot, a little, or not at all.
The Red Lion was a four-ale bar with a handful of lowbrowed sons of toil who looked as though they...

We all had to pay, but not for the crimes we were accused of. There were other scores to settle.
Hope for some means its loss for others; when the hopeless regain some hope, those in power--the...
Why are they going to disappear him? I don't know. It doesn't make sense. It isn't even good...
It isn't even good grammar. What the hell does it mean when they disappear somebody?
