Prayerless people cut themselves off from God's prevailing power, and the frequent result is the familiar feeling of being overwhelmed, overrun, beaten down, pushed around, defeated. Surprising numbers of people are willing to settle for lives like that.

Religion is spelled 'D-O', because it consists of the things people do try to somehow gain God's forgiveness and favor. But the problem is that you never know when you've done enough. But thankfully, Christianity is spelled differently. It's spelled 'D-O-N-E', which means that what we could never for ourselves, Christ has already done for us. To become a real Christian is to humbly receive God's gift of forgiveness and to commit to following His leadership.

Nothing that matters in this world happens unless leaders lead it.

Live each day with an open ear toward heaven, eager to respond to any whisper from God.

It's not the things I don't understand about the Bible that bother me; it's the things I understand with perfect clarity and don't comply with that keep me up at night.

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

The Church will never reach her full redemptive potential until men and women with the leadership gift step up and lead.
