We are consumed by safety. Obsessed with it, actually. Now, I’m not saying it is wrong to pray for God’s protection, but I am questioning how we’ve made safety our highest priority. We’ve elevated safety to the neglect of whatever God’s best is, whatever would bring God the most glory, or whatever would accomplish His purposes in our lives and in the world.

I've never felt a need to really respond to someone else's writing.

We have control over our prayer life, our relationship with Jesus.

God specifically created us to be like Him. This is impossible to wrap our minds around, but God created us like Him in some respect and then set us in the midst of this world to represent Him!

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

The way we live out our days is the way we will live our lives.

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