Every obedience is not easy. This is for Jesus Christ. He deserves everything!

You might not think it now, but if you're one of God's children, you're going to figure it out by the end of your life God is good.

I want to be a part of the grand plan. Being on board with God's objectives means I understand that this is not about me.

In a society where rationality has ruled so long, the church frequently fails to see that in forsaking the weekly pursuit of the transcendent, we have given up the only ground that was uniquely ours in this world. In attempting to make the church something that can attract and add value to secular mind-sets, we have turned our backs on our one true proposition - transcendence.

Beware of begging God for things you don't have to have.

These criminals represent us. One of them recognized Jesus for who he was and received him; Jesus promised that when he died he would be in heaven with him. The other man rejected Jesus and closed his heart. Unlike the first criminal, when he died he didn't go to heaven. He went to hell. In that sense, these two men on either side of Jesus are just like every person. We either embrace Christ as our Savior and spend eternity with him, or we reject him and say, 'I don't believe it. I'll have nothing to do with.' And these people spend eternity separated from him.

Repentance is the key that unlocks the door to all that God has for us, but it is not easy.
