We can grow so accustomed to being spoon-fed the Word of God that we sometimes forget how to examine the Scriptures for ourselves.

God is the Deliverer, but we never know how He might deliver us.

If we remain compelled by comfort, we will miss the greatest adventures of our calling.

I am convinced now that virtually every destructive behavior and addiction I battled off and on for years was rooted in my (well-earned) insecurity.

Faith is the only thing that will ever close the gap between our theology and our reality.

Don't assume that God will always work in your life the way He always has. A sunset is proof that God colors outside the lines. He has no status quo. Even the laws of nature are His to interrupt. As many times as you've prayed before, today may be the day when God sends the answer so swiftly-so divinely-that you're windburned.

When we detach the Word of God from the heart of God, we miss the point of God.
