A pastor’s job isn’t merely to tell you that Jesus loves you and died for you, though that’s the most important truth.
A faithful pastor preaches with the intention of creating the conditions for the Holy Spirit to CONVICT you to turn away from your sin.
A lot of people don’t like this, maybe it’s subconscious. It doesn’t feel as good as being told God loves you and it’s all unicorns and lollipops.
I’m grateful to have a pastor like this and it has been transformative for my faith. I’m never done trying to walk a little closer to the living God.
Church is amazing and sometimes it’s just celebration, praise and gratitude. Other times, it feels like getting a stern talking from a good dad (your Heavenly Father). Do not turn away from His correction.
Dolly once wrote me a letter asking if I’d listen to a song she’d written and consider singing it with her. The truth is, I didn’t even listen before I said yes. When Dolly Parton asks, you say yes.
When God made Dolly, He broke the mold.
This one really hurts. 💔
I dated a woman for three years. She had a 2-year-old son, Leo, from a previous relationship. The dad was out of the picture.
We broke up because she wanted to 'party' and I wanted to settle down.
One night, she dropped Leo off at my house at 11 PM. She said, 'I can't do this anymore. You take him. You’re better at it.' And she drove off.
I have zero biological relation to this kid. The courts told me I had no rights. But I fought. I got guardianship because she abandoned him.
I’ve been a single dad to another man's kid for 10 years. I’ve taught him to shave, to drive, and to treat women with respect—ironically, the respect his mom never showed us.
She surfaced recently because Leo is a star athlete and made the local paper. She wants front-row tickets to the game.
Leo told the coach, 'If she shows up, don't let her in. My dad is the guy in the stands wearing my jersey.'
Biology makes you a relative. Loyalty makes you a parent.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
Lamentations 3:22-26
