You must begin with God.

I'm not going to get into a debate over the non-essentials. I won't try to change other denominations. Why be divisive?

I have the greater glory of God, the history is His story, that He is in charge and ultimately He knows what He's doing.

If you want your life to have impact, focus it! Stop dabbling. Stop trying to do it all. Do less. Prune away even good activities and do only that which matters most. Never confuse activity with productivity. You can be busy without a purpose, but what's the point?

The Bible tells us that there are some things worth fighting for. In fact, the Bible says there's some things worth dying for.

Pretentiousness repels but authenticity attracts, and vulnerability is the pathway to intimacy.

You're not really ready to live unless you know what you're willing to die for.
