As we begin to focus more on Christ, loving Him and others becomes more natural. As long as we pursuing Him, we satisfied in Him. It is when we stop actively loving Him that we find ourselves restless and gravitating toward other means of fulfillment

When loving Him becomes obligation, one of the many things we have to do, we end up focusing even more on ourselves.

God wants to change us so much that it intrigues others.

God never excuses sin. And He is always consistent with that ethic. Whenever we start to question whether God really hates sin, we have only to think of the cross, where His Son was tortured, mocked, and beaten because of sin. Our sin

Jesus said go and make disciples, but so often we just sit and make excuses

It's pride, plain and simple, that keeps me from giving God all the glory and keeping some of it for myself. It is a battle we all fight in some form or another, some of us daily or even hourly.

God cares more about your obedience to His Spirit's leading TODAY than what you will do next year.
