God prunes us when He is about to take us into a new season of growth and expansion.

If you are marked by God, you don't need to be marketed by man.

The biblical model is that God deliberately chooses imperfect vessels - those who have been wounded, those with physical or emotional limitations. Then he prepares them to serve and sends them out with their weakness still evident, so that his strength can be made perfect in that weakness.

We were never created to settle for mere religion. Jesus did not die so that we could have a religious belief system - but rather a life-giving relationship with our Father.

Thoughts are like a train, they'll take us somewhere. Protect by filling with the word of God.

It's not possible to be close to God without thinking about the lost. They never leave His mind.
