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

He has more of a right to ask us why so many people are starving [than we do to ask Him]. As much as we want God to explain himself to us, His creation, we are in no place to demand that He give an account to us.

Don't fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.

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

People who are obsessed are raw with God; they do not attempt to mask the ugliness of their sins or their failures. Obsessed people don't put it on for God; He is their safe place, where they can be at peace.

Following Christ isn't something that can be done halfheartedly or on the side. It is not a label we can display when it is useful. It must be central to everything we do and are.

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.
