Due to our consumer mindset, people are prone to jump from church to church, which weakens the church overall.

I have one reason why you should walk away from that temptation right now. One reason: God. Is. Better.

We say to the Creator of all this magnitude and majesty, ‘Well, I’m not sure You are worth it…. You see, I really like my car, or my little sin habit, or my money, and I’m really not sure I want to give them up, even if it means I get You.’

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.

Do you understand that it's impossible to please God in any way other than wholehearted surrender?

Most of us use ‘I’m waiting for God to reveal His calling on my life’ as a means of avoiding action. Did you hear God calling you to sit in front of the television yesterday? Or to go on your last vacation? Or exercise this morning? Probably not, but you still did it. The point isn’t that vacations or exercise are wrong, but that we are quick to rationalize our entertainment and priorities yet are slow to commit to serving God.

There are periods that we forget that in the pursuit of fruit, that if we just abide in Him, then fruitfulness is a guarantee.
