If you don't live by the praise of men you won't die by their criticism.

I can't afford to have thoughts in my head about me that God doesn't have in His.

God will never violate His Word, but He doesn’t seem to mind violating our understanding of His Word.

Unbelief is safe, because it takes no risk and almost always gets what it expects.

Jesus ruined every funeral he attended including his own.

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.

Our identity sets the tone for all we do and become. Christians who live out of who they really are cannot be crippled by the opinions of others. They don't work to fit into other people's expectations, but burn with the realization of who the Father. says they are.
