Where your delight is, the rest of your world is going to follow.

God doesn't need to have emergency meetings. He's never gathered the Trinity and asked 'What happened there'.

If all you got is "I don't want to be that" then sell insurance.

If you are in Christ, you are fully and completely forgiven for all your sin-past, present and future.

The reality is that all God has to do is reveal himself to you,and you'll gladly join the mission in service to his kingdom. He doesn't force the issue; he just has to reveal himself as is: mighty,wondrous, gracious, loving, and radically saving. No man goes back to saltine crackers when he's had fillet mignon.

Your approval before God is woven into the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, not what other men and women think about you.

The great message that we call the gospel begins, then, not with us, or our need, or even the meeting of that need, but with the writer of the news and the sender of its heralds: God himself.
