Faith doesn't reduce uncertainty. Faith embraces uncertainty.

The more you’re willing to risk, the more God can use you. And if you’re willing to risk everything, then there is nothing God can’t do in you and through you.

Image
May you keep dreaming until the day you die. May imagination overtake memory. May you die young at a ripe old age.

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.

Embrace relational uncertainty. It's called romance. Embrace spiritual uncertainty. It's called mystery. Embrace occupational uncertainty. It's called destiny. Embrace emotional uncertainty. It's called joy. Embrace intellectual uncertainty. It's called revelation.

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.

Life a life of Spiritual Adventure. Much like a wild goose the Spirit of God cannot be tracked or tamed. An element of danger, an air of unpredictability surround Him. And while the name may sound a little sacrilegious, I cannot think of a better description of what it's like to pursue the Spirit's leading through life.

Well-developed faith results in well-defined prayers, and well-defined prayers result in a well-lived life.

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.

I love to read. I remember hearing that the average author takes two years to write a book. So when I read a book, I feel like I am getting two years of life experiences.

When we cling too tightly to what God did last, we often miss what God wants to do next.

Sometimes God leads us to a place where we have nowhere to turn but to Him our only option is to trust Him.

Worship is forgetting about what's wrong with you and remembering what's right with God.

Our Heavenly Father is far too wise and loves us far too much to give us everything we ask for.
