Lukewarm people feel secure because they attend church, made a profession of faith at age twelve, were baptized, come from a Christian family, vote Republican, or live in America. Just as the prophets in the Old Testament warned Israel that they were not safe just because they lived in the land of Israel, so we are not safe just because we wear the label 'Christian' or because some people persist in calling us a 'Christian nation.

I confess to you guys, I confess to the church, I know I have backed away from certain things because of my arrogance. I thought I could attract more people to Jesus by hiding certain things about him.

...we are quick to rationalize our entertainment and priorities yet are slow to commit to serving God.

Some of you could be worshipping God but you're playing with a video game.

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

The point of your life is to point to Him...it is His movie, His world, His gift.

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.
