If a person fears God, she has no reason to fear anything else.

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.

Insecurity's best cover is perfectionism. That's where it becomes an art form.

God holds his people responsible for righteousness, not for results.
