"We expect Him [Jesus] to come in the form of peaceful hymns or Easter Sundays or quiet retreats. We expect to find Jesus in morning devotionals, church suppers, and meditation. We never expect to see him in a bear market, pink slip, lawsuit, foreclosure, or war. We never expect to see him in a storm. But it is in the storms that he does his finest work, for it is in storms that he has our keenest attention. Jesus replied to the disciples' fear with...'Don't be ...

Grace Upon Grace
So often we make our faith in Christ about us. How can we find more time to pray? How can we pray better? How can we get in more Bible reading? How should we study God's Word? How can we strengthen our devotional life? None of those are bad things, but they are things that we must do ourselves.

A Greenhouse of Prayer
"We can be loyal advocates, stubborn intercessors. We can take our parenting fears to Christ. In fact, if we don't, we'll take our fears out on our kids. Fear turns some parents into paranoid prison guards who monitor every minute, check the background of every friend. They stifle growth and communicate distrust. A family with not breathing room suffocates a child. Bring your children to me. Raise them in a greenhouse of prayer. Parents, we can't protect children from every threat in ...
