Because I want to get a lot done, I can sometimes do that in the flesh. If I don't rest in the Lord, and enjoy him as I should, my action doesn't spring from my identity and enjoyment of Christ. When that happens, I end up getting the glory rather than Jesus.

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

The best things in life are gifts from the One who steadfastly loves us. But an important question to ask ourselves is this: are we in love with God or just His stuff?

Due to our consumer mindset, people are prone to jump from church to church, which weakens the church overall.

Solomon warned us not to rush into God’s presence with words. That’s what fools do. And often, that’s what we do.

When we love God because we feel we should love Him, instead of genuinely loving out of our true selves, we have forgotten who God really is.

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).

The God who loans you life sees your every move, hears each word you speak, knows your every thought. You are seen by God. Noticed. Known.
