We have been created for God and by God to transform the world around us.
It's not possible to be close to God without thinking about the lost. They never leave His mind.
Spend more time building your character than trying to build your platform.
As you give God your time, your gifts, your resources and talents, He will use them to have a critically important and eternal impact on this world.
Spending time in the presence of Jesus is a non-negotiable. Don't wait until you have time to do it. MAKE time.
I also came to understand that our authenticity (or lack thereof) is made evident by the fruit that our life is bearing.
If we don't put our faith to work we will soon discover that we have a faith that doesn't work!
When you are not sure what to do now just keep doing what God told you to do last!
Your history does not need to define your destiny.
God loves it when His children pray BIG, BOLD PRAYERS. Don't be afraid to ask your Father for anything!
It is one thing to be awakened to injustice and quite another to be willing to be inconvenienced and interrupted to do something about it.
If the light that is on you is brighter than the light that is in you, the light that is on you will destroy you.
If you are marked by God, you don't need to be marketed by man.
Love gives up the right to get even.
Even when I cannot see him, I can hear the beautiful gallop of God's heartbeat for humanity.
One of the most important things that we as Christians can do is regularly fill our hearts and minds with God's Word. Bible Gateway is one great tool available that makes reading and studying Scriptures readily available to each of us at any moment.
Let's not hold anything back in 2015. We only have one life to live and this is not a dress rehearsal!! # allornothing
In Christianity, nobody wins until everybody crosses the line.
I don't want to just live delivered but I want to live free.
We also need to be willing to make room in our lives for the impending birth of our dreams. This might mean emptying our life of clutter such as wasted time, energy, resources, or draining relationships. These things can jeopardize our dreams by distracting us at a time when we should be more focused than ever.
If Jesus isn't enough for the church, why would he be enough for the world?
Until we choose to deal with our yesterday today, we're never going to step into tomorrow.
Our relationship with God flows out of our love for God.
Even though I only just found out that I was adopted, God has always known, and he has always loved me. And since that has never changed, therefore nothing has essentially changed. I may not be who I thought I was, but I still am who he says I am. I am more. I am loved. I am his.
Settling for what is comfortable is one of the biggest enemies to our enlargement... In every season of life...we need to be committed to enlarging our personal capacity (even when it's not comfortable). We need to refuse to be satisfied with our latest accomplishments, as what we've accomplished is no longer our potential because it has been realized.
