Being around a church culture, even leading a gathering of believers, I've gotten pretty good at predicting what's going to happen in a church service.
Churchgoers in America are notorious for jumping into movements, even ideas that are hard to listen to. But when they actually have to change their lifestyle and do something about it, it rarely translates into action.
Our culture is all about shallow relationships. But that doesn't mean we should stop looking each other in the eye and having deep conversations.
As a culture, we're so worried about what's going to happen to us 30 years from now that we are not taking care of our brothers and sisters who need help today.
My existence was not random, nor was it an accident. God knew who He was creating, and He designed met for a specific work. [Ephesians 2:10]
God cares more about your obedience to His Spirit's leading TODAY than what you will do next year.
The point of your life is to point to Him...it is His movie, His world, His gift.
Not being able to understand God is frustrating, but it is ridiculous for us to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable to comprehending.
Show true religion, cause words don't relieve
Pray with reverence, not half-heartedness.
...you have to stop loving and pursuing Christ in order to sin.
...when we are loving, we can't sin.
Due to our consumer mindset, people are prone to jump from church to church, which weakens the church overall.
There are just certain times I sense the Lord is wanting me to write, and so I write.
