Truth has a side. We find it by listening to his voice.
The Father puts all the freight and weight of his love for the world on his Son. Jesus puts all the freight and weight of the world’s faith on his followers’ love for each other.
This is what the disciples of Jesus do. They put down pretense, confess their ignorance, and ask one another questions in order to grow in their faith and understanding.
We will finally see greater things when we learn the ways of greater love.
What holds you back from pouring your very best into the most menial and ordinary acts?

To be the seed means to surrender your life to Jesus and all the glorious purposes for which God made you in the first place.
Our biggest problem is not sin; it’s our broken ability to trust.
I find the more I actually expect to hear from Jesus, the more I hear from him.
Every broken place in every broken life holds the possibility for the glorious works of God to be put on display.
The gospel does not do away with justice and judgment; rather, it crushes condemnation.
When Jesus comes into your life he becomes the endless source of eternal life that actually springs up from within you and then flows out of you to others.
We want Jesus to help us more than we want Jesus to have us.
Some of the sickest, most disabled, most devastatingly handicapped people I have ever known are some of the deepest wells of living water I have ever seen.
In the eyes of God, there are no deplorables, only wayward sons and daughters.
Why do we choose to be admired at the expense of being known?
What about your own notion of abundance must diminish in order for you to begin to grasp the abundance Jesus offers?
