All that will matter forever and ever in our heavenly state is the glory that came to God through our lives.
We have a very real God with a very real presence.
Let’s pursue a walk with God so close that the spotlights of this world-be they for us or against us-are eclipsed by His enormous shadow cast on our path.
May God remind us daily-no matter what kind of obstacles we face-that we are loved and empowered by the One who brought the universe into existence with the mere sound of His voice. Nothing is impossible for Him.
Nothing is of greater threat to the enemy than a believer with the Word of God living and active upon her tongue, readily applied to any situation.
If we remain compelled by comfort, we will miss the greatest adventures of our calling.
Authentic faith cannot help but act.
The giant step in the walk of faith is the one we take when we decide God no longer is a part of our lives. He IS our life.
Intimacy with God is that I can come in with the honesty of my heart, tell Him how much I’m hurting.
A big difference exists between trying to manipulate God to give us what we want and cooperating with God so He can give us what He wants.
We long to find someone who has been where we’ve been, who shares our fragile places, who sees our sunsets with the same shades of blue. Soul mates. They somehow validate the depth of our experiences.
Ultimately, our relationship with Christ is the one thing we cannot do without.
We were created for the purpose of giving God’s invisible character a glimpse of visibility.
A pair of hands clasped in earnest prayer is the best means we have this side of heaven to hang onto Jesus for dear life.
Whatever crisis you are going through, fruit will come from it. Allow the crisis to bring fruit.
Whether we like it or not, life has a lot of drama and pain. But God is writing a great story. Are we going to let Him? Are we going to trust Him?
What a beautiful name. I love to watch how it falls off the lips of those who love Him. I shudder as it falls off the lips of those who don’t. Jesus.
Prayer guards hearts and minds and causes God to bring peace out of chaos.
Faith is the only thing that will ever close the gap between our theology and our reality.
Some things don’t need to be cut back. They need to be cut off.
