The most fruitful and the most joy-filled Christians are the most pruned Christians.

If people are not sharing their faith in your church, if they're not having a quiet time, if they're not living godly lives, then you need to change your style of preaching. You are obviously not seeing lives changed through the Word of God. So what is the problem? The problem isn't the Word. The problem is your preaching style.

In my experience, God rarely makes our fear disappear. Instead, He asks us to be strong and take courage. What is courage? As Ordinary discovered, courage is not the absence of fear rather, it's choosing to act in spite of the fear. You could say that without fear, you can't have genuine courage.

A moment of gratitude makes a difference in your attitude.

A Dreamer is a person whose life is in motion.

Dependence upon God makes heroes of ordinary people like you and me!

Imagine what your life will look like when you have broken the bondage of fear.

Keep your eyes on Christ, not the circumstances you find yourself in or the feelings you are experiencing.

The journey toward your Big Dream changes you. In fact, the journey itself is what prepares you to succeed at what you were born to do. And until you decide to pursue your Dream, you are never going to love life the way you were meant to.

You are not an accident. You are one of a kind. Your big dream is from God, and its irreplaceable. And you were born to seize it and celebrate it every day of your life!

Not surprisingly, the place we're most likely to experience testing is exactly where we struggle most to trust God.
