God has great plans for you today... creative and unexpected means by which He will make you a saint. He needs only your joyful submission to His plan.

We can't understand our calling and our vocation until we listen to the Lord... until we look upon the Lord... until we realize who it is that we're really serving. Are we serving God? Or the world?

Enthusiasm is contagious - so is a lack of it. Joyless Christians are a greater assault on the gospel than atheism.

To love someone properly probably means that you won’t be very popular. Pure love, loving the way it was intended, is unfortunately a foreign concept to many. Love is messy. Love will involve hardship, demand patience, require forgiveness, test maturity, strain friendship, challenge priorities, refine character, ignite the heart and unleash the soul. Love is not something you sing about, it’s the reason you sing. Love is not something you write about, it’s the reason you write. Love is not something you live to find, it’s the reason that you are alive.

Sometimes holiness demands that we speak up, but oftentimes it calls us to shut up.

How beautiful that after 2,000 years, no one can outdo "God is love." It's the most perfectly concise, hopeful phrase in history.

God doesn't desire our worship because He is egocentric. He desires it because we are.
