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

The outcome of your life will be determined by your outlook on life.

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.

Image
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.

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

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.

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

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.

If you aren't hungry for God, you are full of yourself.

There comes a moment when you must quit talking to God about the mountain in your life and start talking to the mountain about your God. You proclaim His power. You declare His sovereignty. You affirm His faithfulness. You stand on His Word. You cling to His promises.

Leaders need the courage to acknowledge when something isn't working.

And when you pray to God regularly, irregular things happen on a regular basis.

If Jesus were living in our culture, he would probably hang out in coffeehouses.

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

The more problems you have, the more potential you have to help people. One of the most paralyzing mistakes we make is thinking that our problems somehow disqualify us from being used by God. [...] If you don’t have any problems, you don’t have any potential. Here’s why. Your ability to help others heal is limited to where you’ve been wounded.

Prayer adds an element of surprise to your life that is more fun than a surprise party or surprise gift or surprise romance. In fact, prayer turns life into a party, into a gift, into a romance.

If the kingdom of God had departments, we’d want to work in research and development. We felt like Jesus didn’t hang out at the synagogue, he hung out at wells. Coffeehouses are postmodern wells. Let’s not wait for people to come to us, let’s go to them.

The only God-ordained fear is the fear of God, and if we fear Him, we don't have to fear anyone or anything else

If you want to find your voice, you need to hear the voice of God.

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