It's much less demanding to think about God's will for your future than it is to ask Him what He wants you to do in the next ten minutes.

Why is it that we believe God's promises of blessing but not his promises of punishment?

If you really want to experience God, go and make disciples.

We are consumed by safety. Obsessed with it, actually. Now, I’m not saying it is wrong to pray for God’s protection, but I am questioning how we’ve made safety our highest priority. We’ve elevated safety to the neglect of whatever God’s best is, whatever would bring God the most glory, or whatever would accomplish His purposes in our lives and in the world.

Life is about Jesus. We are not here to tell our story, but His.

Where it gets weird is that nowadays there are millions of people on this earth who call themselves followers of Jesus, but their lives look nothing like His, and they're not obeying the things that He called them to do.

Lukewarm people will serve God and others, but there are limits to how far they will go or how much time, money, and energy they are willing to give.
