The authority of God is behind the establishing of human authority.

When my children hear godliness out of my mouth and they see wickedness in my life, then I point them to heaven and I lead them to hell.

The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed. It happens quietly. It happens inevitably. Don’t underestimate God’s power.

Faith is not a soft option offered to people who need a crutch to get through the rest of their lives. Faith is the supernatural activity of God whereby He opens blind eyes, unstops deaf ears, and a man or a woman says- “I see it now. I get it now. I am going to trust in God. I am going to trust in Jesus.

Unless the Bible is first taught to our own hearts, then we have no basis from which to teach it to others at all.

We as [churches] may be lampstands, but all of the light is Christ Himself. We exist in order that He might shine through us.

Despite the obvious emphasis of Scripture (in regard to suffering), we are bombarded by suggestions that the 'successful' Christian living takes place in the realm of constant victory, health, wholeness, and financial prosperity. In response to this we are not to pretend that suffering doesn’t exist or that it might be instantly cured. Such notions are the product of empty heads and closed Bibles.
