If our worship isn’t visible, comprehensive and extravagant, the gospel we heard must have been tiny, empty and cheap.
As long as I can remember, the compelling force behind my calling is a desire to know Jesus more and to make Him known. I believe I was created for a relationship with Jesus, so growing in my relationship with Him and worshiping Him with all my heart and life is preeminent.
Whenever you say ‘yes’ to anything, there is less of you for something else. Make sure your ‘yes’ is worth the less.
To us, waiting is wasting. To God waiting is working.
God has plans and purposes for each of our lives. But the beauty is that He doesn’t call us and leave us on our own. Jesus actually lives in us to pull off the amazing things that He has invited us into.
Who knows who’s waiting right now for one of us to invite them into God’s family?
It’s easy: You simply follow the trail of your time, your affection, your energy, your money, and your allegiance. At the end of that trail you’ll find a throne; and whatever, or whoever, is on that throne is what’s of highest value to you. On that throne is what you worship.
It’s not that we should declare the praises of God. It’s that we may.
This is the residue of sin on planet earth. Things are broken. People are hurting. The night is here. Darkness is upon us. Yet shining in the night is a Savior, and He has come to shine on you.
Life comes from death. To the degree that I can live in the death of Jesus – to that degree I can channel God’s life to others.
If you’re waiting with God, waiting is okay. If you’re always waiting on God, you’ll be frustrated. God never seems to work at the speed that we want Him to.
Jesus has enough, is enough, and will be enough.
God’s purposes and plans will not fail. Before you spend all your prayer time telling Him about yours, ask about His.
You don’t have to know everything about the mountain in front of you to take the next step.
When the enemy comes with shame and blame, tell him to go measure the distance from east to west and get back to you.
There’s no doubt we were unworthy, but we were never worthless. Big difference.
God is huge! He is ginormous! He is greater than every thought we have ever had of Him.
God’s words trump all opinions, including mine, and in the end, I believe God’s words lead to life.
Limit your thinking and expectation today to only the things God can do.
As an overflow of my life – the wake I leave behind with my little dash on earth – I want others to fall in love with Jesus and know of His great hope and purpose for their lives.
