We are loaded down with too many good things, more than we could ever need, while others are desperate for a small loaf. The good things we cling to are more than money we hoard our resources, our gifts, our time, our families, out friends....how ludicrous it is to hold on to the abundance God has given us and merely repeat the words 'thank you'.

People who are obsessed with God have an intimate relationship with Him.

The point of your life is to point to Him. Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing is His.

Many Spirit-filled authors have exhausted the thesaurus in order to describe God with the glory He deserves. His perfect holiness, by definition, assures us that our words can't contain Him. Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?

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.

I confess to you guys, I confess to the church, I know I have backed away from certain things because of my arrogance. I thought I could attract more people to Jesus by hiding certain things about him.
