The rest of the story from Acts 1:8 explains that Christ-followers have a mission while here on earth. They are to be Christโs witnesses all over this planet. Itโs as if Christ said, โThink youโre missing the book smarts, the street smarts, the looks, the talent, or the speaking ability to accomplish this mission? Donโt be concerned with those things, because you have my mountain-moving, life-transforming, death-defying power on your side.โ
Bill HybelsYou don't have to be any more talented, any richer, any slimmer, any smarter, any more or less of anything to partner with God. All you have to be is willing to be used by him in everyday way
Bill HybelsThe Christian life is one of faith, where we find ourselves routinely overdriving our headlights but knowing it's okay because God is in control and has a purpose behind it.
Bill HybelsI 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.
Bill HybelsWhen God transforms the life of just one leader, that leader can transform a church. When one church is transformed, you can transform a community. And when enough churches are thriving, you can affect a region, a country, and eventually the entire world with the positive, life-changing power of Jesus Christ and the redeeming and restoring work of his people.
