Prayer is the difference between seeing with our physical eyes and seeing with our spiritual eyes.

The greatest tragedy in life is the prayers that go unanswered simply because they go unasked.

When we change the way that we pray, everything changes.

God is not a genie in a bottle, and your wish is not His command. His command better be your wish.

You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent.

In my experience, take the Holy Spirit out of the equation of your life and it spells boring. Add it into the equation of your life and you never know where you are going to go, what you are going to do, or who you are going to meet.

If the kingdom of God had departments, we’d want to work in research and development. We felt like Jesus didn’t hang out at the synagogue, he hung out at wells. Coffeehouses are postmodern wells. Let’s not wait for people to come to us, let’s go to them.
