Lukewarm people don't really want to be saved from their sin; they want only to be saved from the penalty of their sin. They don't genuinely hate sin and aren't truly sorry for it; they're merely sorry because God is going to punish them. Lukewarm people don't really believe that this new life Jesus offers is better than the old sinful one.

Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?

Your problems are not just your problems. Ultimately, they belong to the church body that God has placed you in.

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.

Lukewarm people do not live by faith; their lives are structured so that they don't have to.

I want the joy of knowing that I am doing something with my life, the joy of battle.

The Bible teaches that true joy is formed in the midst of the difficult seasons of life.
