Refusing to teach a passage of Scripture is just as wrong as abusing it

I sometimes struggle with how to properly respond to God’s magnitude in a world bent on ignoring or merely tolerating Him. But know this: God will not be tolerated. He instructs us to worship and fear Him.

We live in a world where people say that you can believe anything you want about God.

The way we live out our days is the way we will live our lives.

We have control over our prayer life, our relationship with Jesus.

[at CMC West Coast 2011, on 1 Samuel 14] If just a few of you would step up and be like Jonathan ... as you step out in faith, you know what's going to happen? There'll be people like Saul who'll say, "God's doing something through that guy, God's doing something through that girl. I want to be a part of that.

...we are quick to rationalize our entertainment and priorities yet are slow to commit to serving God.
