It is insanity to run from God and search for love.

A person God himself deems as wise is one who not only hears His voice, but immediately begins to act upon His instruction.

So many of us have abdicated our passions for obligations, as if passion is a luxury for the young, and we must all grow up one day. We, even if reluctantly, fall into place to live a life of conformity that we describe as ‘maturity.’ We’ve made acting like an adult synonymous with living apathetic lives.

I think a lot of us are not on a path; we're in a rut. We have confused comfort with peace, belief with faith, safety with wisdom, wealth with blessing, and existence with life.

We need to advocate for social justice and reform so that all minorities are protected not only under the law but more importantly by our cultural values and ethic. The law cannot change the human heart. Government is limited in its ability to effect culture. This is the role and responsibility of the Church. Only Jesus can move us from hate to love.

When we lack integrity, we use power to control. When we lead with integrity, we use power to bless.

We have to ask ourselves, 'Am I really trying to discern God's will, or determine whether I want to do it?'
