Christianity was simple: fight your desires in order to please God.
God, interrupt whatever we are doing so that we can join You in what You’re doing.
Joy is something that we have to choose and then work for.
Christians today like to play it safe. We want to put ourselves in situations where we are safe ‘even if there is no God.’ But if we truly desire to please God, we cannot live that way.
Are we in love with God or just His stuff?
True faith manifests itself through our actions.
It is true that God may have called you to be exactly where you are. But, it is absolutely vital to grasp that he didn’t call you there so you could settle in and live your life in comfort and superficial peace.
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.
God’s art speaks of Himself, reflecting who He is and what He is like.
Lukewarm people call ‘radical’ what Jesus expected of all His followers.
We need to stop giving people excuses not to believe in God.
If you really want to experience God, go and make disciples.
There are periods that we forget that in the pursuit of fruit, that if we just abide in Him, then fruitfulness is a guarantee.
I love being in the ocean. I love the unpredictability of it- size of wave, animals you see, etc.
As a culture, were so worried about whats going to happen to us 30 years from now that we are not taking care of our brothers and sisters who need help today.
True love requires sacrifice.
If I were Satan and my ultimate goal was to thwart God’s kingdom and purposes, one of my main strategies would be to get churchgoers to ignore the Holy Spirit.
