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.

We need to be more concerned about who we are before God than our reputation before people.

The idea of holding back certainly didn't come from Scripture.

There are just certain times I sense the Lord is wanting me to write, and so I write.

God's art speaks of Himself, reflecting who He is and what He is like.

True love requires sacrifice.

When we become overly concerned about our appearance, our spiritual reputation, our coolness, and our acceptance, we are living as citizens of this world rather than as ambassadors.
