Honestly, when I read the Scriptures, I really believe the Lord puts a heart in us when we become believers.
Fear of God failing us leads us to "cover for God." This means we ask, expect, and are satisfied with less.
A disciple is a disciple maker.
Jesus asks for everything, but we try to give Him less.
True faith means holding nothing back; it bets everything on the hope of eternity
Lukewarm people don't really want to be saved from their sin; they want only to be saved from the penalty of their sin.
The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.
Don't fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.
Yes, it is God who works in you. And, yes, there is work for you to do. Yes, the Spirit empowers you to do the work. And, yes, you do the work.
Lukewarm people will serve God and others, but there are limits to how far they will go or how much time, money, and energy they are willing to give.
If I have a script, I tend to stick to it even if God may be leading me elsewhere in the moment.
Our God listens to us. Our God is a living God. He's not a block of wood you made up that's not going to answer you. My God listens to me. He answers me.
I could be wrong about salvation. I could be wrong about a lot of things.
We have control over our prayer life, our relationship with Jesus.
