a glimpse of my heart through the workings of my mind

Scripture makes it abundantly clear that all people, regardless of age, ethnicity, religious belief, sexual orientation, social status, or educational background, will make it to Heaven one day. If your goal is simply getting in, then congratulations.

Scripture also makes it abundantly clear that only those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will remain there. Because after the Final Judgment, all who rejected him will be cast out.

Eternity isn’t about a place, it’s about a person. Getting into Heaven isn’t the goal, abiding forever with Jesus is.

The Christian walk is not a static thing. We serve the Living God, and one of the characteristics of life is motion. You're either drawing closer to Him or you're drawing further away. The one thing you can't do is remain where you are.

As Christians our hope lies not in the presumption that we are so desperately holding on to God, but in the promise that God is so steadfastly holding on to us.

So many people in the world are searching for a place to belong.

Well that place is a person.

And his name is Jesus Christ.

There are some who prefer the darkness because it hides the things they themselves do that they would rather others not see. There are also some who prefer the darkness because it hides the things others do that they themselves would rather ignore. Both are an affront to the light.

In ages past God made mankind in His image, and said that it was good. Mankind's chief affliction, and the source of all our troubles, is that we have been attempting to remake Him in ours ever since.

When a man says that he doesn’t see in himself the need for a Savior, it’s because he’s already made himself out to be the hero of his own story.

We are called to live saved lives, not safe ones.

Conviction without action is worse than ignorance, and a far more dangerous thing, for if you go too long without according your actions to your convictions, you will inevitably lose your convictions altogether by conforming them to your inactions.

Simple hardly ever is. It only ever appears to be.

Only Christ can save us from the disease called self.

God is the Ultimate Mystery, and yet he chose to reveal himself to us.

The story of Mary and Martha reminds us that it is more important to be occupied with Christ than it is to be occupied for him.

When Jesus Christ is referred to as the Beginning, it is not to say that he had a beginning, but rather, he is the beginning from which all other beginnings flow.

In the end, only the strong ever really learn how to forgive.

It is the nature of man to find evil in all things but himself.

Everything the Christian worldview stands for and everything the Christian worldview stands on is rooted intrinsically within the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is no Christian message apart from this.
