But to mean it when I say that I want my life to count for His glory is to drive a stake through the heart of self – a painful and determined dying to me that must be a part of every day I live.
Everything thing we’re doing is coming out of the living Word of God.
It is because of our foolishness that we forget who God is.
It’s horrifying and absurd to think that there are currently more slaves on earth than at any other time in human history.
There is a direct correlation between your appreciation of what Christ has done for you and the expression of worship.
If only everyone could know we’ve been created by and for God! If only we could all comprehend that we’re precious to Him, housing mirrored souls designed to reflect His glory.
In the end, our worship is more about what we do than what we say.
It’s time to blow out the candles on the pity party cake.
Sin doesn’t make you bad, it makes you dead.
Yet, Jesus is selfless in the way He gives His life away for you. So if your gaze is on Him, you will treat others as He is treating you.
We are responsible for our captivity to sin. In our foolishness, we forget God. However, God intervenes!
Why are all Christians happy and praising Jesus? It’s because we are not DEAD! We may be imperfect, but we aren’t DEAD!
No big shocker that following Jesus is costly. The best things in life always are.
It doesn’t really matter how rich you are, we’re all just renting here on earth! It all belongs to the Lord.
The Gospel is not about going from bad to good, it’s about going from dead to alive!
Nothing steals God’s glory more than worrying believers who are driven through life by fear.
This is an amazing thought: a God who is indescribable.
Life only works when Jesus is everything and we are fully submitted to Him.
While we were at rest, Christ was in rescue mode. While we were doing nothing, He was doing EVERYTHING. He was down in the depths of the earth fighting for our freedom.
Brokenness is the bow from which God launches the arrow of healing.
Whether it’s an attorney or a bond trader or a journalist, or a musician or pastor, you want to do your best. You don’t want to seek acclaim. You don’t want to seek awards. You want to seek to do your best at what God’s given you.
