There will be people who will teach for the sake of greed or for the sake of ego. So watch their lives. Do they look and act like Jesus?

God specifically created us to be like Him. This is impossible to wrap our minds around, but God created us like Him in some respect and then set us in the midst of this world to represent Him!

We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving ourselves because we were made to do these things.

We need to stop giving people excuses not to believe in God. You've probably heard the expression 'I believe in God, just not organized religion'. I don't think people would say that if the church truly lived like we are called to live.

If you want to see the big stuff that God has, you've got to take some risk and trust only in the Gospel.

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

...if God is truly the greatest good on this earth, would He be loving us if He didn't draw us toward what is best for us (even if that happens to be Himself)?
