Many people begin coming to God once they stop being religious.There's only one master of the heart-Jesus, not religion.

It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed . . .

The love of God is not created- it is His nature.

We will suffer a sharp painful disullisionment before we fully surrender. When people really see themselves as the Lord sees them, it is not the terribly offensive sins of the fleshthat shock them, but the awful nature of the pride of their own hearts opposing Jesus Christ. When they see themselves in the light of the Lord, the shame, the horror, and desperate conviction hit home for them.

I have to get to the point of the absolute and unquestionable relationship that takes everything exactly as it comes from Him. God never guides us at some time in the future, but always here and now. Realize that the Lord is here now, and the freedom you receive is immediate.

To identify with the death of Jesus Christ means that we must die to everything that was never a part of Him.

The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.
