We were not saved from our sin simply so that we would qualify for heaven. God delivered us so we would have a relationship with Him through which He could carry out His mission to redeem a lost world.

It is impossible to worship God and remain unchanged

Wouldn't it be a tragedy to get to the top of the ladder and find you placed it against the wrong wall?

God has a right to interrupt your life. He is Lord. When you accepted Him as Lord, you gave Him the right to help Himself to your life anytime He wants.

When leaders claim that God bypasses their followers and speaks directly to them, they greatly diminish all God does through the lives of believers.Leaders who begrudge people the opportunity to seek God themselves and who do not actively teach their people how to hear God's voice have disqualified themselves as spiritual leaders.

You cannot go with God and stay where you are.

We should thank God for being with us, not ask Him to be with us (this is always given!).
