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

Faith is not logical. But it isn't illogical either. Faith is theological. It does not ignore reality it just adds God into the equation.

Image
Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention.

Faith is unlearning this senseless worries and misguided beliefs that keep us captive. It is far more complex than simply modifying behavior. Faith is rewiring the human brain. We are literally upgrading our minds by downloading the mind of Christ.

Image
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.

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.

What sets lion chasers apart isn’t the outcome. It’s the courage to chase God-sized dreams.
Mark Batterson
Image
If you wait for perfect conditions to seize an opportunity, you'll be waiting till the day you die.

Image
The healthiest and holiest people are the people who laugh at themselves the most. Failure helps us take God more seriously and ourselves less seriously.
Mark Batterson
Image
The primary reason we lose faith is because we forget the faithfulness of God. Maybe that's why the word 'remember' is repeated 250 times in Scripture.
Mark Batterson
Image
The genealogy of blessing always traces back to God-ordained risk.
Mark Batterson
Image
God is great not just because nothing is too big for Him. God is great because nothing is too small for Him, either.
Mark Batterson
Image
If Jesus were living in our culture, he would probably hang out in coffeehouses.

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.
