Stress says that the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace toward others, or our tight grip of control.

...I don't have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.

In China I told pastors about how, in the West, we have these church buildings and how we go to services each week that last an hour or so. I told them how if we don't like the music or the message then we can go to different buildings and services... They all broke out into laughter. They thought I was the funniest guy they had ever seen.

A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the sin of pride is always a battle. Obsessed people know that you can never be humble enough, and so they seek to make themselves less known and Christ more known (Mt 5:16).

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.

Obsessed people are more concerned with obeying God than doing what is expected or fulfilling the status quo. A person who is obsessed with Jesus will do things that don't always make sense in terms of success or wealth on this earth.

True faith means holding nothing back. It means putting every hope in God's fidelity to His Promises.

With my natural communication abilities, I could probably gather a crowd even without the Spirit.

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 want to train my kids so where they are the only believers they can stand on their own two feet and teach others.

The message of the Bible is not about God in Heaven who wants to take from you. It's about God who wants to give to you.

The point of your life is to point to Him...it is His movie, His world, His gift.

We have control over our prayer life, our relationship with Jesus.

We need to stop giving people excuses not to believe in God.
