You also know you’re surrendered when you don’t react to criticism and rush to defend yourself. Surrendered hearts show up best in relationships. You don’t edge others out, you don’t demand your rights, and you aren’t self-serving when you’re surrendered.

We must learn to share the gospel in ways that show it is both GOOD and NEWS. The gospel is about what God has done for us and what we can become in Christ

If others don't use their gifts, you get cheated, and if you don;t use your gifts, they get cheated.

I do not believe God is responsible for my sins, some people may. But I believe that my own weaknesses are father-filtered and just as much as God touched Jacob's hip and he walked with a limb the rest of his life, that I have certain emotional weaknesses that are there to keep me dependent on God.

Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.

God is far more interested in what you are than who you are.

Faith in Jesus must be personal but it cannot be private.
