The world is a treadmill, and we are being pulled backward on it if we aren’t consciously walking forward.

J.I. Packer says that we have "conformed to the modern spirit: the spirit, that is, that spawns great thoughts of man and leaves room for only small thoughts of God." We have "allowed God to become remote." Christians who don't have an expanding, deepening knowledge of God are like players who have no coach, no rule book, no game schedule, no playing field, no training program. They are depending on one thing to win - uniforms.

The prescription for perplexed people who are tempted to be pessimistic is to rejoice, do good, and recognize that our ability to work, eat, and drink is the gift of God.

The world is a treadmill, and we are being pulled backward on it if we aren't consciously walking forward.

I feel compelled to clarify, simplify, and personalize truth.

It is important that you know who you are, where you stand, where you came from, what you have, what you can do, and who is with you.

Too much of a good thing can be bad. After all, you can drown even in clear, clean, pure water.

Many options are not transparent. They need to be explored and evaluated with care. What you see is not always what you get.

Our part in life may seem small, but it should bulk large in our thought when we remember that it is helping to complete the plan of the Divine Architect.

Sometimes our needs drive us to the Word; sometimes the Word alerts us to our needs.
