God's purposes and plans will not fail. Before you spend all your prayer time telling Him about yours, ask about His.

Some of us attend the church on the corner, professing to worship the living God above all. Others, who rarely darken the church doors, would say worship isn't a part of their lives because they aren't "religious." But everybody has an altar. And every altar has a throne.

Life is chaotic. It's messy. That's what Jesus was stepping into.

It's horrifying and absurd to think that there are currently more slaves on earth than at any other time in human history.

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

How many of you heard the voice of God speak specifically, clearly, directly, and personally, to you? Can you just put a hand up? I'd like you to share it. Can you put a hand up for a minute? Just want you to look around; that's people saying, "God Almighty, the Maker of heaven, the one Who's sitting on the only throne that's not under threat - He spoke to me. He spoke to me." "God spoke to me." Don't let the voice of the darkness tell you that you are not worth that God would not speak to you. Don't let him tell you, you don't matter. God spoke to you.

Even if we don't see it, God is always working underneath the surface, behind the scenes and orchestrating His plans and purposes.
