Has your relationship with God changed the way you live your life?

We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.

Image
Frankly, you need to get over yourself. It might sound harsh, but that's seriously what it means [1 Corinthians 10:31].
Francis Chan
Image
People who are obsessed with Jesus aren't consumed with their personal safety and comfort above all else. Obsessed people care more about God's kingdom coming to this earth than their own lives being shielded from pain or distress.
