We need to stop giving people excuses not to believe in God. You've probably heard the expression 'I believe in God, just not organized religion'. I don't think people would say that if the church truly lived like we are called to live.

God's presence is all that matters.

God interrupt whatever we are doing so that we can join You in what You're doing

The enemy just hates our prayers.

Christ can come back at any time so the one thing you want to have in your life is a focused prayer time.

Sometimes we shrink from leadership because our pride makes us afraid of failure. That's not humility.

[Y]ou have to stop loving and pursuing Christ in order to sin. When you are pursuing love, running toward Christ, you do not have opportunity to wonder, *Am I doing this right?* or *Did I serve enough this week?* When you are running toward Christ, you are freed up to serve, love, and give thanks without guilt, worry or fear. As long as you are running, you're safe.
