The foolish took their lamps, but took no oil (pursued ministry as their priority over getting oil). The wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps (pursued oil as their priority before ministry). At the dark midnight hour of history, the Spirit will raise up forerunners who cry out that Jesus is coming as a Bridegroom God and that we must go out to meet Him (make the necessary effort to encounter Him). They all slept which speaks of living in context to the natural processes of life.

God has a part,and we have a part. God will not do our part and we can't do His part

God doesn't love you more when you obey, you experience Him more!

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

God wants us to respond in wholehearted love because it is who He is and who He created us to be.

We love God with our mind by taking the time to fill our mind with the Word.

I'm not looking for Bible verses to back up a lifestyle of passiveness. I'm looking for Bible verses and life experiences to teach me to live more radically for Christ.
