We are loaded down with too many good things, more than we could ever need, while others are desperate for a small loaf. The good things we cling to are more than money; we hoard our resources, our gifts, our time, our families, out friends....how ludicrous it is to hold on to the abundance God has given us and merely repeat the words 'thank you'.

Fear of God failing us leads us to "cover for God." This means we ask, expect, and are satisfied with less.

Every year in my life, I trust fewer and fewer people.

What is amazing is how we treat a meeting with God as ordinary or burdensome.

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

Don't fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.

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.
