Christians today like to play it safe. We want to put ourselves in situations where we are safe 'even if there is no God.' But if we truly desire to please God, we cannot live that way.

Not being able to understand God is frustrating, but it is ridiculous for us to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable to comprehending.

It is true that God may have called you to be exactly where you are. But, it is absolutely vital to grasp that he didn’t call you there so you could settle in and live your life in comfort and superficial peace.

God gave me the same power He gave Jesus. I ask myself daily, Why do I waste such a priceless gift?

God has given you this good stuff so that you can show the world a person who enjoys blessings, but who is still totally obsessed with God.

People who are obsessed with Jesus live lives that connect them with the poor in some way or another. Obsessed people believe that Jesus talked about money and the poor so often because it was really important to Him.

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