Don't evaluate yourself, don't evaluate others. Just keep going after it.

Any who love Jesus will love others much more.

Jesus isn't coming for a church that's gritting her teeth, struggling to stay free from sin, secretly wishing she could indulge in a little immorality but abstaining because of being afraid of getting caught. No, Jesus is coming for a church passionately and utterly devoted to Him-one that is free on the inside.

Worship is not a twenty minute period during a church service, but a lifestyle of relating to God in a particular way.

The church generation in which Jesus returns will actively participate in this revolution. ... My premise: Many people alive today will see this revolution in their lifetime.

The revelation of His glory includes seeing One so high (transcendence) who went so low (condescension) to bring us so near (redemption) because we are so dear (Bride). The Most High God went so low because of such great desire to partner with us... We are awestruck by His power, overwhelmed by His humility, and made confident by His love.

The power of God tenderizes and changes us, not spiritual disciplines. Spiritual disciplines only position us to receive.
