It's not your freedom to choose that makes you free. It's what you choose in that freedom that makes you free.
Erwin McManusA person God himself deems as wise is one who not only hears His voice, but immediately begins to act upon His instruction.
Erwin McManusHow in the world could you ever imagine a life of faith that does not require risk? Faith and risk are inseparable.
Erwin McManusGod allows and at times causes us to go through the kinds of circumstances that strip away all falsehood and leave us with our real selves. God's ultimate intent is not to leave us faithless, but to leave us faith-full. There are few things as exhilarating as going through the fire and finding that you had the resilience to make it through. All of us wonder at times whether we have what it takes. God wants to bring us to a place where we have no doubt of the work He has done within us.
