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

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

...there is still a need for those of us nestled deep within the Christian bubble to look beyond the status quo and critically assess the degree to which we are really living biblically.

A person who is obsessed with Jesus is more concerned with his or her character than comfort. Obsessed people know that true joy doesn't depend on circumstances or environment; it is a gift that must be chosen and cultivated, a gift that ultimately comes from God (James 1:2-4).

The world is not moved by love or actions that are of human creation. And the church is not empowered to live differently from any other gathering of people without the Holy Spirit. But when believers live in the power of the Spirit, the evidence in their lives is supernatural. The church cannot help but be different, and the world cannot help but notice.

My biggest concern for this generation is your inability to focus, especially in prayer.

Nothing compares to being truly, exuberantly wanted by your children.
