Obeying the Spirit instead of your own self-centered whims will lead you to places you've never been, challenge you in ways you have never been challenged, and invite levels of sacrifice you never dreamed you could make. This is the power and the promise of full-throttle faith, of living a life fueled solely by God.

If you're a serious minded leader, you will read. You will read all you can.

Religion is spelled DO. Christianity is spelled DONE. One endlessly works to earn love. The other simply receives it!
