I hate thinking about it, teaching about it, and writing about it. But the plain truth is that hell is real and real people go there for eternity.

One thing is that life's great moments evolve from simple acts of cooperation with God's mysterious promptings-nudges that always lean toward finding what's been lost and freeing what's been enslaved .

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.

Most of us are far too busy for our own spiritual good.

We will probably have to pay a price for devoting our lives to building the kingdom of God. Jesus did.

Self awareness allows you to self-correct.
