Marriage is one of the most humbling, sanctifying journeys you will ever be a part of. It forces us to wrestle with our selfishness and pride. But it also gives us a platform to display love and commitment.

I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit.
Francis Chan
Image
The point is not to completely understand God but to worship Him. Let the very fact that you cannot know Him fully lead you to praise Him for His infiniteness and grandeur.
Francis Chan
Image
Every year in my life, I trust fewer and fewer people.
Francis Chan
Image
Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.

A person who is obsessed with Jesus is more concerned with his or her character than comfort. Obsessed people know that true joy doesn't depend on circumstances or environment it is a gift that must be chosen and cultivated, a gift that ultimately comes from God (James 1:2-4).
