As a Christian I think it's really important to find a man of God to trust and be supportive of me.
The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.
There are only two sorts of people in life you can trust - good Christians and good Communists.
O my brethren my heart is enlarge towards you. I trust I feel something of that hidden but powerful presence of Christ whilst I am preaching to you.
My Christmas present to myself each year is to see how much air travel can open up the world and take me to places as far from sheltered California and Japan as possible.
Our covering ministry is Challenge for Christ ministries and Travel the Road was solely our mission arm designed to expose people to what missions are then connect them with agencies that send people out.
I just travel all the time. And I was just looking at the schedules now and starting the first week of October I will be every weekend with somebody at tournaments through Christmas. So it gets very difficult to just go away and not do that.
This evening I wish to suggest that we Christians should accompany people on their pilgrimages. Specifically we should travel with people as they search for the good the true and the beautiful.
Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.
Christmas is the day that holds all time together.
Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas for next summer for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.

I'm so thankful for the active obedience of Christ. No hope without it.
Now a lot of what we are doing right now quite frankly is because of what happened on Christmas. Many of the things were kind of in the works. We were already planning for example the purchase and deployment of advanced imaging technology. You call them body scanners. We call them AITs (Advanced Imaging Technologies).
The answer of course in the mouth of a Christian teacher is that in Christianity alone is there both present joy and future hope.
My parents were early converts to Christianity in my part of Nigeria. They were not just converts my father was an evangelist a religious teacher. He and my mother traveled for thirty-five years to different parts of Igboland spreading the gospel.
I very much dislike the intolerance and moralism of many Christians and feel more sympathy with Honest Doubters than with them.
Strength was the virtue of paganism obedience is the virtue of Christianity.
I want kids to understand that strength doesn't come from what goes on around you. It comes from inside you and that comes from Jesus Christ.
The virtue of paganism was strength the virtue of Christianity is obedience.
May He who is the Brahman of the Hindus the Ahura-Mazda of the Zoroastrians the Buddha of the Buddhists the Jehovah of the Jews the Father in Heaven of the Christians give strength to you to carry out your noble idea.
Stabilizing the euro is one thing healing the culture that surrounds it is another. A world in which material values are everything and spiritual values nothing is neither a stable state nor a good society. The time has come for us to recover the Judeo-Christian ethic of human dignity in the image of God.
One of the most important responsibilities in the Christian life is to care about others smile at them and be a friend to the friendless.
