One of our fundamental spiritual problems is this: we want God to do something new while we keep doing the same old thing.
Mark Batterson
Image
The genealogy of blessing always traces back to God-ordained risk.
Mark Batterson
Image
We’re too Christian to enjoy sin and too sinful to enjoy Christ. We’ve got just enough Jesus to be informed, but not enough to be transformed.

Image
Vision beyond your resources? Don't let fear dictate your decisions. If your vision is God-given, it will most definitely be beyond your ability and beyond your resources. The God who gives the vision is the same God who makes provision.

Our Heavenly Father is far too wise and loves us far too much to give us everything we ask for.
Mark Batterson
Image
God is not a genie in a bottle, and your wish is not His command. His command better be your wish.

I just don't think pastors should turn their pulpits into public policy platforms. It cheapens the gospel. Our congregation doesn't need another political opinion. They need spiritual revelation. They don't need to think about politics on the weekend. They need to be reminded to seek first the kingdom of God.

Don’t just read the Bible. Start circling the promises. Don’t just make a wish. Write down a list of God-glorifying life goals. Don’t just pray. Keep a prayer journal. Define your dream. Claim your promise. Spell your miracle.
Mark Batterson
Image
We pray as if God’s chief objective is our personal comfort. It’s not. God’s chief objective is His glory.

Image
You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent.

Image
Your greatest regret at the end of your life will be the lions you didn't chase. You will look back longingly on risks not taken, opportunities not seized, and dreams not pursued. Stop running away from what scares you most and start chasing the God-ordained opportunities that cross your path.

If we do the little things like they are big things, then God will do the big things like they are little things.

Image
God isn't offended by your biggest dreams or boldest prayers. He is offended by anything less. If your prayers aren't impossible to you, they are insulting to God.

The only way you can fail is if you stop praying.

One of the truest tests of spiritual maturity is seeing the miraculous in the monotonous.
