Some of you could be worshipping God but you're playing with a video game.

When we love God because we feel we should love Him, instead of genuinely loving out of our true selves, we have forgotten who God really is.

God is the only being who is good, and the standards are set by Him. Because God hates sin, He has to punish those guilty of sin. Maybe that's not an appealing standard. But to put it bluntly, when you get your own universe, you can make your own standards.

Our God listens to us. Our God is a living God. He's not a block of wood you made up that's not going to answer you. My God listens to me. He answers me.

The truth is that the Spirit of the living God is guaranteed to ask you to go somewhere or do something you wouldn't normally want or choose to do. The Spirit will lead you into the way of the cross, as He led Jesus to the cross, and that is definitely not a safe or pretty or comfortable place to be. The Holy Spirit of God will mold you into the person you were made to be.

Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'

True faith means holding nothing back. It means putting every hope in God's fidelity to His Promises.
