Quit trying to do what I already know you can't do and let Christ do what only He can through you.

Whenever you say 'yes' to anything, there is less of you for something else. Make sure your 'yes' is worth the less.

It's not the elements of our worship that are awesome. It's the object of our worship Who is awesome.

We go from Malachi to Matthew in one page of our scriptures, but that one piece of paper that separates the Old Testament from the New Testament represents 400 years of history - 400 years where there wasn't a prophet, 400 years where God's voice wasn't heard. And that silence was broken with the cry of a baby on Christmas night.

As long as we are faking it we are just showing the world how to fake it - but they already are! They want to see us get real.

There's something that's not right or not perfect or not the way we had hoped or dreamed that it was going to be. But God promises that He will use everything and every moment to ultimately take us to a new Heaven and a new Earth. For now, we're stuck in the middle.

It is not God's will that you limp along in life believing that you are inadequate.
