The world needs to see Christians burning, not with self-righteous fury at the sliding morals in our country, but with passion for God.

There is nothing gray about whether a follower of Christ should see 50 Shades of Grey. This is a black and white issue. Don’t go. Don’t watch it. Don’t read it. Don’t rent it.

To start the day without prayer is to suggest the devil is feeble, God is irrelevant, and we can handle things on our own.

The word of God is more than enough for the people of God to live their lives to the glory of God

The people on this planet who end up doing nothing are those who never realized they couldn't do everything.

Scripture is profitable for training in righteousness. No one succeeds at the highest level in sports without working out. No one makes it in music without lots of practice. No one excels in scholarship without years of study. And no one makes it far in the school of holiness without hours and days and years in the word. You and I simply will not mature as quickly, minister as effectively, or live as gloriously without immersing ourselves in the Scriptures. We need the Bible if we are to be competent Christians.

If the gospel is old news to you, it will be dull news to everyone else.
