Jesus evidently hates it when we tear into our brothers or sisters with demeaning words, words that fail to honor the people around us as the beautiful image-bearing creatures that they are.

God gave me the same power He gave Jesus. I ask myself daily, Why do I waste such a priceless gift?

I don't want Him to return and find me sitting in a theater.

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.

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

Lukewarm people don't really want to be saved from their sin; they want only to be saved from the penalty of their sin.

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.
