The first and principal duty of a pastor is to feed the flock by diligent preaching of the word
What does this word holiness really mean? Is it a negative kind of piety from which so many people have shied away? No, of course not! Holiness in the Bible means moral wholeness-- a positive quality which actually includes kindness, mercy, purity, moral blamelessness and godliness. It is always to be thought of in a positive, white intensity of degree.
First, forgive. Second, forget by choosing not to dwell on that which is forgiven and in the past. We have no right to keep in front of us what God has put behind Him.
Too often we argue about Christianity instead of marveling at Jesus.
Your life is not your own: it belongs to God. To "be yourself" is to be and do what God wants you to be and do, knowing that God created you for a mission and knows you and your mission better than you do.
Come to God for your healing. Don't hesitate. God, who is so full of goodness and supply, is always willing to bless, preserve, heal and restore you.
I believe in God - not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.
Humility is so shy. If you begin talking about it, it leaves.
The church is not a campus but a community. Pastors are not CEOs; they are shepherds.
A godly man is never threatened by the gifts of a godly woman.
Mercy and forgiveness must be free and unmerited to the wrongdoer. If the wrongdoer has to do something to merit it, then it isn’t mercy, but forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness.
Great moves of God are usually preceded by simple acts of obedience.
Here's one way I can know that I've forgotten the gospel of grace: when your sin bothers me more than my sin.
Problems are guidelines, not stop signs!
As a pastor, I have a deep desire to lead people to God and encourage people to pray, read the Bible, and carry their faith into every part of their lives.
All human problems are ultimately symptoms, and our separation from God is the cause.
A passion to obey Christ is born out of our relationship with him. The more we love him, the more we want him to be a part of our affairs.
Dear lost sinner, if you are a wicked sinner, yet you do not have to die and go to Hell forever. If you are a criminal or a harlot, a blasphemer, a drunkard, a convict, or a dope fiend, God does not want you to go to Hell. People do not go to Hell simply because they are sinners. Rather they go because they will not repent of their sins! If you today will confess your sins to God, and in your poor, helpless heart, will, as far as you know how, turn away from your sin, God will have mercy and will forgive and save.
For God to mend your broken heart you must give him ALL the pieces. You can't hold any back.
You won't step on other's toes if you imagine yourself in their shoes.
Direction, not intention determines your destination.
Our central job is not to solve the world’s problems. Our job is to draw our entire life from Christ and manifest that life to others. Nothing could be simpler—and nothing could be more challenging.
A church without the broken is a broken church.
There is hope in forgiveness
The only love that won’t disappoint you is one that can’t change, that can’t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life or of how well you live. It is something that not even death can take away from you. God’s love is the only thing like that.
