God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. The answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God.

God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

Lukewarm living and claiming Christ's name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.

It hit me that the students were talking about me, not God. I was standing before a holy God and robbing Him of the glory that was rightfully His.

He measures our lives by how we love.

It's a pretty crazy task to try to describe God quickly. Everything starts with a healthy fear of Him.
