One of the main reasons that we lose our enthusiasm in life is because we become ungrateful..we let what was once a miracle become common to us. We get so accustomed to his goodness it becomes a routine.

God has already lined up the right people for you, people that will inspire you, challenge you and motivate you. If you’ll let go of the wrong people, then the right people will show up.

Sometimes what we think is a disappointment, is really God getting us in position to go to a new level.

For a while... to be an evangelical meant you were a white Republican, and you were against this and against that. I don't want to be put into that mold, because then people judge you before they even listen... I don't want to divide the very people I am trying to reach.

God wants to use you in spite of your weaknesses. Of God chose to use perfect people only, He’d have no one to use

When my father died, it sounds kind of simple but I just had the desire to step up and pastor the church. It was what I was supposed to do. I just took that step of faith.

You may make some mistakes - but that doesn't make you a sinner. You've got the very nature of God on the inside of you.
