Don’t believe something just because you want to, and don’t embrace an idea just because you’ve always believed it. Believe what is biblical. Test all your assumptions against the precious words God gave us in the Bible.
A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the best thing he can do is be faithful to his Savior in every aspect of his life, continually saying "Thank You!" to God. An obsessed person knows there can never be intimacy if he is always trying to pay God back or work hard enough to be worthy. He revels in his role as a child and friend of God.
I love being in the ocean. I love the unpredictability of it- size of wave, animals you see, etc.
I don't want Him to return and find me sitting in a theater.
...you will have a choice: to adjust how you live daily or to stay the same.
People who are obsessed with Jesus give freely and openly without censure. Obsessed people love those who hate them and who can never love them back.
Joy is something that we have to choose and then work for.
...I don't have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.
When we work for Christ out of obligation, it feels like work. But when we truly love Christ, our work is a manifestation of that love, and it feels like love.
He does not have to know us so well, but He chooses to.
...there is still a need for those of us nestled deep within the Christian bubble to look beyond the status quo and critically assess the degree to which we are really living biblically.
I want the joy of knowing that I am doing something with my life, the joy of battle,
I really believe it's time for some of us to stop apologizing for God and start apologizing to Him for being embarrassed by the ways He has chosen to reveal Himself
God's art speaks of Himself, reflecting who He is and what He is like.
