Just as you did not come to Christ on your own, neither will you remain in Christ on your own.

The point of your life is to point to Him. Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing is His.

In China I told pastors about how, in the West, we have these church buildings and how we go to services each week that last an hour or so. I told them how if we don't like the music or the message then we can go to different buildings and services... They all broke out into laughter. They thought I was the funniest guy they had ever seen.

God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

We have a God who is a Creator, not a duplicator.
