The fact that we were created to enjoy God and to worship him forever is etched upon our souls

Jesus called fishermen, not graduates of rabbinical schools. The main requirement was to be natural and sincere.

No matter what I preach or what we claim to believe in our heads, the future will depend upon our times of prayer.

I despair at the thought that my life might slip by without God showing Himself mighty in my life.

The cross, as poignant as it is, is understandable from a human perspective: an innocent man was murdered by crooked politicians and religious leaders. But the empty tomb-- what can you say? Only a supernatural God could accomplish that.

Prayer is the opening of the heart so we can receive all these good things that God has for us every day. It's like sitting down at a table that God has prepared for us. He says, 'I have everything you need today - all the grace, all the wisdom, all the provision that you need - but sit down at the table and eat. Don't be so rushed and so busy and try to live without My supply.'

I discovered an astonishing truth: God is attracted to weakness. He cannot resist those who humbly and honestly admit how desperately they need him.
