True faith means holding nothing back. It means putting every hope in God's fidelity to His Promises.
We have to believe it enough that it changes how we live.
Many Spirit-filled authors have exhausted the thesaurus in order to describe God with the glory He deserves. His perfect holiness, by definition, assures us that our words can't contain Him. Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?
The point of your life is to point to Him. Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing is His.
Something is wrong when our lives make sense to unbelievers.
Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.
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.
