It’s at the heart of everything we struggle with in life: longing to be valuable, to be accepted, to be prized, to be worth something to somebody, to have a life that matters, and God’s saying ‘You matter! I didn’t make anyone else like you. You’re not a reprint or a lithograph. You’re a one-of-a-kind, original creation of God.

In the end, our worship is more about what we do than what we say.

I believe that God is not lost. He is in the middle with us right now. If people will take a few moments and take this journey, hope will rise up in their hearts. I believe that.

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

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

Worship is when we give God His breath back

But to mean it when I say that I want my life to count for His glory is to drive a stake through the heart of self - a painful and determined dying to me that must be a part of every day I live.
