What stirs up in my heart is, 'Oh would we see an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.'

I've discovered most Christians don't know what to do with difficult situations because they have bought into the lie that God owes us (for our good behaviour). The reality of life is that if you live long enough you are going to bleed, cry and hurt. AND God is still God IN that.

We spend so much time trying to put send to death that we don't spend enough time striving to know God deeply, trying to gaze upon the wonder of Jesus Christ and have that transform our affections to the point where our love and hope are steadfastly on Christ.

We carry an insidious prosperity gospel around in our dark, little, entitled hearts.

If we could understand how impossible our situation is, we would grow in reverence for the kingship of Christ.

Grace-driven effort wants to get to the bottom of behavior, not just manage behavior. If you're simply managing behavior but not removing the roots of that behavior, then the weeds simply sprout up in another place.

The cross of Christ is the response of God to men for belittling His name.

So relational evangelism? Go for it, as long as it turns into real evangelism. You hanging out having a beer with your buddy so he can see that Christians are cool is not what we’re called to do. You’re eventually going to have to open up your mouth and share the gospel. When the pure gospel is shared, people respond.

The commands of God are given, not to rob me of joy, but lead me into the fullness of joy.

When we join God in his plan for his global glory, we get to be a part of the cosmic take-your-kid-t o-work day.

Apart from worshiping God, everything becomes superficial. But when you understand the driving force behind everything, all of a sudden there's an eternal amount of joy at our disposal, because everything we do is enlightened and enlivened by the endless glory of the eternal God.

Find the things that stir your affections for Christ and saturate your life in them. Find the things that rob you of that affection and walk away from them. That's the Christian life as easy as I can explain it for you.

Heaven is not a place for those who are afraid of hell it’s a place for those who love God.

The reality is that all God has to do is reveal himself to you,and you'll gladly join the mission in service to his kingdom. He doesn't force the issue he just has to reveal himself as is: mighty,wondrous, gracious, loving, and radically saving. No man goes back to saltine crackers when he's had fillet mignon.

There isn’t a violent soul on the planet that God might not save and transform for himself.

God is awesome he doesn’t need you to be awesome. He wants you to be obedient.
