It's when you begin to think about going to your dream that your dream is always outside of your comfort zone. It's always beyond what you've ever done.
I went to Africa without the perspective of a balance between teaching people the truth, which has been my calling, and helping people who have physical problems, like AIDS and orphans and hunger.
Repentance means you change your mind so deeply that it changes you.
Imagine what your life will look like when you have broken the bondage of fear.
If your life consistently bears no fruit, God will intervene to discipline you. If your life bears some fruit, God will intervene to prune you. If your life bears a lot of fruit, God will invite you to abide more deeply with Him.
As God’s chosen, blessed sons and daughters, we are expected to attempt something large enough that failure is guaranteed…unless God steps in.
God didn’t want me to do more for Him. He wanted me to be more with Him.
If people are not sharing their faith in your church, if they're not having a quiet time, if they're not living godly lives, then you need to change your style of preaching. You are obviously not seeing lives changed through the Word of God. So what is the problem? The problem isn't the Word. The problem is your preaching style.

The most fruitful and the most joy-filled Christians are the most pruned Christians.
Dependence upon God makes heroes of ordinary people like you and me!
God's power under us, in us, surging through us, is exactly what turns dependence into unforgettable experiences of completeness.
It's never too late to act on your dream
What counts is knowing who you want to be and asking for it.
