Having faith often means doing what others see as crazy.

We have a God who is a Creator, not a duplicator.

God my Creator said, 'Go and make disciples.' So I don't want to sit and make excuses.

In our world, where hundreds of things distract us from God, we have to intentionally and consistently remind ourselves of Him.

Which is more messed up- that we have so much compared to everyone else, or that we don't think we're rich? That on any given day, we might flippantly call ourselves 'broke' or 'poor?' We are neither of those things. We are rich. Filthy rich.

Lukewarm people do not live by faith; their lives are structured so they never have to. They don't have to trust God if something unexpected happens- they have their savings account. They don't need God to help them- they have their retirement plan in place. They don't genuinely seek out what life God would have them live- they have life figured and mapped out. They don't depend on God on a daily basis- their refrigerators are full and, for the most part, they are in good health. The truth is, their lives wouldn't look much different if they suddenly stopped believing in God.

God has not had an identity crisis. He knows that he is Great and deserves to be the center of our lives.
