I don't want to lose the awe we get to help another human being.

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.

When loving Him becomes obligation, one of the many things we have to do, we end up focusing even more on ourselves.

The enemy just hates our prayers.

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

I’ve got this amazing relationship with God that is better than life, itself, so marvelous, so wonderful that everything else can fall apart and I’m okay.

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.
