The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.

When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.

Stress says that the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace toward others, or our tight grip of control.

I really believe it's time for some of us to stop apologizing for God and start apologizing to Him for being embarrassed by the ways He has chosen to reveal Himself

When the church really takes on the humble characteristics of Christ, that's going to lead to revival.

All my life I've heard people say, 'God loves you.' It's probably the most insane statement you could make to say that the eternal Creator of this universe is in love with me. There is a response that ought to take place in believers, a crazy reaction to that love. Do you really understand what God has done for you? If so, why is response so lukewarm?

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