God set the standard for giving love that demands nothing in return.

You won’t have to watch what you say if you watch what you think.

We have been given the privilege to host this presence. The Holy Spirit is in me for my sake but he is upon me for yours.

Those who think their intellect will keep them from deception are already deceived.

God has called us into a place of tenderness, when nobody is looking, when there are no great decisions to make, when it’s just him and me in a hotel room, with no one to pray for, no one to preach to. When it is just two people in a room, that’s where you learn. That’s where you learn his heartbeat. That’s where you learn the presence. That’s where you learn the voice. It’s in the moments when nobody is watching, nobody is evaluating how good you’re doing. When it is just you and him.

As a forgiven son, I am justified, cleansed, washed clean. This is a greater reality than my sinful past.

The favor of God does not bless self-promotion
