True faith means holding nothing back; it bets everything on the hope of eternity

God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him.

The disciples obey because that's what people do when someone rises from the dead and gives instructions.

It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe - the creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.

The point of your life is to point to Him. Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing is His.

For a person to be truly discipled and growing in their faith, they need more than one person discipling them.

God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.
