Small steps toward Christlikeness. thegospelcoalition.org/article/growin…

Christian faith is not a blind leap against the evidence, but a humble willingness to follow the evidence.

The God of the Bible is not one of many. He is the one and only (1 Kgs 8:60)

He is the Potter. I am the clay.

When cancer strikes,as it has, the key question is not “how bad is my cancer?” But “how big is my God?”

This body—so long broken, pained, slowed, weakened and now cancered—will one day breathe in eternity’s air, to then, with heaven-filled lungs, exhale the songs and sounds of everlasting joy!

Fate is blind. God sees all. Fate is heartless, God is love. Fate is impersonal. God is Father. Fate is random. God is wise. Fate has no power. God is almighty. Fate nullifies my will. God enables it. Fate is aimless. God is purposeful, always aiming for our joy in his glory.

If I do not step in and command that my dark thoughts obey my faith, then soon, my faith will obey my dark thoughts.

O Lord. I know you can and I know you care. So would you please? Through Jesus’s name.

O Lord, I know you can and I know you care. So would you please? Amen.

One lesson from my cancer is that it is not my worst disease. I’m sin-sick. The worst sickness I’ll ever have has been cured by the best Physician There will ever be.

Past sufferings produce hope, no matter what the future brings, because God has proven himself enough, no matter what the past has brought.

Better to weep sincerely than to paint a happy face.

“The Fellowship of Sufferings” may not be a “club” that people are lining up to join. But it is a Fellowship, that once you join, you are grateful to be in. For in it is where all of life’s best joys are to be found.

In the face of my cancer, health will be our goal, but not our god.

While I don’t see God yet, he sees me now—and will search me then.

Waiting for God to do to, in, for, and through us what only he can.
