Because God wants to take you in ever-increasing measures to know Him. And the only way you can know Him is by experiencing Him. So He's going to ask you to go with Him in dimensions that require more faith and more activity than you have ever used before. Otherwise you will never grow in your faith in Him. The only way you can grow in your faith in Him is to accept the next assignment which is always greater than the previous one. Don't ever feel that you will get to the place where you'll never be scared half to death.

A test of your love for God is to examine your love for others.

How you live your life is a testimony of what you believe about God.

The Christian needs to walk in peace, so no matter what happens they will be able to bear witness to a watching world.

It takes intentional effort to tune out every voice except God's.

Regardless of what we say, it's what we do that reveals what we as a church or individual actually believe about God and His will for us.

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