A Bad Sermon Is Like A Car Wreck - Everyone Slows Down To See What Happened.

The Entire Life Of Jesus Isn't The Story Of Somebody Climbing Up A Ladder; It's A Picture Of Someone Coming Down-a Series Of Demotions. The Problem With Spending Our Lives Climbing Up The Ladder Is That We Will Go Right Past Jesus, For He's Coming Down.

How Hard Is It For God To Get Your Attention? Do You Regularly Practice Turning Aside In Your Day? That Is, Taking A Moment To Listen To God- Because God, Through The Holy Spirit, Really Is Speaking, Because We Know, Every Place Is Filled With The Presence Of God. There Is Not An Inch Of Space, Not A Moment Of Time, That God Does Not Inhabit.
