We live in a society with zero discretion. Nothing is off limits, and no words or immoral behavior are checked. If a believer does not consciously practice discretion, he or she is setting himself or herself up for a fall. Being pulled into this society's indiscretion is easy and deadly.

You discover God's attributes as you need them. You may not comprehend the depth of God’s provision until you find yourself in physical need. His care becomes real to you when you are hurting and desperate for His tender shepherding. Suddenly, this part of God becomes real and precious as you experience it. Once experienced, you never see God quite the same.

What is a spiritual leader in a church? Is it just a nice job? A good career? Something to do if you can’t really do anything else? Some casual helpers to people of whom not much is required?

We are in the middle of one more dramatic presidential election. Every four years, we must decide between two very imperfect people to give leadership to our nation. It’s a privilege to be in a land where we can do this. But the drama, deception, and politcizing of these human elections is increasingly exhausting. And we don’t know what really goes on behind the scenes.
That’s why I’m voting for Jesus this November.

If you want to understand why you have trouble pursuing God, it is because you are convinced other things are more important.
