A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the best thing he can do is be faithful to his Savior in every aspect of his life, continually saying Thank You! to God. An obsessed person knows there can never be intimacy if he is always trying to pay God back or work hard enough to be worthy. He revels in his role as a child and friend of God.

Our God listens to us. Our God is a living God. He's not a block of wood you made up that's not going to answer you. My God listens to me. He answers me.

Luke warm people are continually concerned with playing it safe they are slaves to the god of control. This focus on safe living keeps them from sacrificing and risking for God.

Tend to choose what is popular over what is right when they are in conflict. They desire to fit in both at church and outside of church they care more about what people think of their actions (like church attendance and giving) than what God thinks of their hearts and lives.

It is not scientific doubt, not atheism, not pantheism, not agnosticism, that in our day and in this land is likely to quench the light of the gospel. It is a proud, sensuous, selfish, luxurious, church-going, hollow-hearted prosperity.

People who are obsessed with God have an intimate relationship with Him. They are nourished by God's Word throughout the day because they know that forty minutes on Sunday is not enough to sustain them for a whole week, especially when they will encounter so many distractions and alternative messages.

James 2:19- 'You believe there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that- and shudder.' God doesn't just want us to have good theology He wants us to know and love Him.

Lukewarm people will serve God and others, but there are limits to how far they will go or how much time, money, and energy they are willing to give.

When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.

The Bible says that when we obey God’s commands, we benefit. I think we naturally assume that if we look out for our own interests and concerns, we will be happy. But people who sacrifice for others will tell you that seasons of giving are the most rewarding of their lives.

I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit. I want people to look at my life and know I couldn't be doing this by my own power. I want to live in such a way that I am desperate for Him to come through. That if He doesn't come through, I am screwed.

We should be so joyful from God's grace that others would respond by saying, 'I wish I had your God.

Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made?

People accuse me of going overboard preparing for my first ten million years in eternity in my opinion, people go overboard in worrying about their last ten on earth.
