September 10, 2009 · 2 comments

“I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.” – Mother Teresa

In every thought I make and each action that I take am I helping to write that letter?  Or am yelling over it?  Have I surrendered creative control to God? Is the Author of my life also the author of my work? [Keep Reading]

Why “get saved” once when it’s offered everyday?

Thumbnail image for Why “get saved” once when it’s offered everyday?

The complete and full definition of something is often much deeper than the words that attempt to articulate it. In other words, how we define something may only express a mere part of the reality of the object being defined. That may be because we simply don’t know much about it yet. Or [...]

Quote of the Day: God is.

“I believe God loves the world through us – through you and through me. We use Mother Teresa’s name; it is only a name, but we are real co-workers and carriers of His love. Today God loves the world through us. Especially in times like these when people are trying to make God ‘was,’ it [...]

Starting the Race

“The relinquishment or sale of temporal goods possessed in this world is not the completion but only the beginning of the race in the stadium; it is not, so to speak, the goal, but only the starting point.
