Christians are like manure: spread them out and they help everything grow better, but keep them in one big pile and they stink horribly.

Can you worship a God who isn't obligated to explain His actions to you? Could it be your arrogance that makes you think God owes you an explanation?

Some of you are sitting at home saying, 'I don't need a church to love God,' and I am here telling you that you are so wrong.

Tend to choose what is popular over what is right when they are in conflict. They desire to fit in both at church and outside of church; they care more about what people think of their actions (like church attendance and giving) than what God thinks of their hearts and lives.

The truth is that the Spirit of the living God is guaranteed to ask you to go somewhere or do something you wouldn't normally want or choose to do. The Spirit will lead you into the way of the cross, as He led Jesus to the cross, and that is definitely not a safe or pretty or comfortable place to be. The Holy Spirit of God will mold you into the person you were made to be.

True faith means holding nothing back; it bets everything on the hope of eternity

God is so clear in spelling out His attributes in scripture in order that others would know what He is really like.
