Practical Theology (192)
Filter by:
  1. There is no pain like the pain of being mistreated by those who, above all others, you expect to love you unconditionally.
  2. What we see in the face of this God is not a loathing expression. We find the face of a compassionate man who knew all about shame himself.
  3. I became like God’s child David, whom the Lord pardoned of his adultery and murder. I became like Noah, Abraham, Judah, Aaron, Gideon, and so many more wayward children.
  4. I have my list. It may seem strange to you, but, when I think about my own death, I often think in terms of positive failures.
  5. We're of little faith. Or rather, we have big faith, but it’s in something else. Our faith is in our ability to control situations, manipulate them to our advantage.
  6. Faith does not require that we always Hoorah what the Lord does. God wants children, not brown-nosers.
  7. The reason that anyone would choose a heaven without Jesus, or happiness without Jesus, or healing without Jesus, is because he doesn’t mean that much to them to begin with.
  8. There’s something appealing about a caged deity.
  9. The Lord has a special place in his heart for those whom the world forgets. For the anonymous. For the rejected.
  10. If even your family has disowned and discarded you; yes, if every single person in this world regards you as a hopeless, embarrassing failure at life, the Father of all mercies does not.
  11. If there’s going to be a celebration, why not celebrate fidelity, obedience, hard work?
  12. For many, there are days when they’re as excited about going to work on Sunday morning as you are about going to work on Monday morning.
