One of my biggest fears - maybe my biggest weakness as a Christian - is that I have a hard time going up to a stranger and talking to them about Jesus.

Let us be eager to leave what is familiar for what is true.

Jesus' call to commitment is clear: He wants all or nothing.

Christianity was simple: fight your desires in order to please God.

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

The church becomes irrelevant when it becomes purely a human creation. We are not all we were made to be when everything in our lives and churches can be explained apart from the work and presence of the Spirit of God.

We have to learn how to control our minds. We have to learn self-control.
