Now God has never shouted out to me. I've never heard God speak audibly. He doesn't have to.

That's God's number one purpose, to make us like Christ.

Obviously there have been historically many different theories of the atonement and I think each of them has a part. But I think fundamentally it is the substitutionary understanding that God - Jesus took our payment and you can't understand.

Your commitments can develop you or destroy you, but either way, they will define you.

God didnt put you on earth just to read about what others do. He made you TO DO some things others will want to read about!

In our competitive world we're taught to never quit trying, never give up, and never give in - so we don't hear much about surrendering. If winning is everything, surrendering is unthinkable. Even Christians would rather talk about winning, succeeding, overcoming, and conquering than yielding, submitting, obeying, and surrendering. But surrendering to God is the heart of worship.

There is one thing that motivates me. It is the global glory of God. I am first and foremost a missionary. I am an evangelist and a missionary.
