I confess to you guys, I confess to the church, I know I have backed away from certain things because of my arrogance. I thought I could attract more people to Jesus by hiding certain things about him.

God has given you this good stuff so that you can show the world a person who enjoys blessings, but who is still totally obsessed with God.

Can you worship a God who isn't obligated to explain His actions to you? Could it be your arrogance that makes you think God owes you an explanation?

I want to train my kids so where they are the only believers they can stand on their own two feet and teach others.

In the midst of our failed attempts at loving Jesus, His grace covers us.

We are consumed by safety. Obsessed with it, actually. Now, I’m not saying it is wrong to pray for God’s protection, but I am questioning how we’ve made safety our highest priority. We’ve elevated safety to the neglect of whatever God’s best is, whatever would bring God the most glory, or whatever would accomplish His purposes in our lives and in the world.

I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit.
