Have you ever noticed that when you pray, coincidences happen? And when you don't, they don't.

If you're bored, one thing is for sure: You're not following in the footsteps of Christ.

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.

If you've never had a God-sized dream that scared you half to death, then you haven't really come to life. If you've never been overwhelmed by the impossibility of your plans, then your God is too small. If your vision isn't perplexingly impossible, then you need to expand the radiuses of your prayer circles.

If you want God to do something new in you, you cannot keep doing the same old thing. You have to do something different. And if you do, God will create new capacities within you. There will be new gifts and new revelations. But you've got to pray the price. You'll get out of this what you put into it.

The greatest tragedy in life is the prayers that go unanswered simply because they go unasked.

We pray as if God’s chief objective is our personal comfort. It’s not. God’s chief objective is His glory.

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

God is great not just because nothing is too big for Him. God is great because nothing is too small for Him, either.

Even our hardest prayers are easy for the Omnipotent One to answer because there is no degree of difficulty.

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.

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

Prayer is the inheritance we receive and the legacy we leave.
