I assure you that some of the most awesome things God has ever done for me have come out of the most awful things I’d done to myself.

I don't know a single person who truly seems to bear the mark of God's presence and power in his or her life who hasn't been asked by God to be obedient in a way that was dramatically painful.

We live by faith. We love by faith.

We were created for the purpose of giving God's invisible character a glimpse of visibility.

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

Let’s not fool ourselves into thinking that pride is a problem only for the lost. The most effective means the enemy has to keep believers from being full of the Spirit is to keep us full of ourselves. No wonder the Bible states and restates that God hates pride. It is the enemy of genuine ministry. It is the end of many homes.

Courage comes from a heart that is CONVINCED it is loved.
