I'm looking for a second reformation. The first reformation of the church 500 years ago was about beliefs. This one is going to be about behavior. The first one was about creeds. This one is going to be about deeds. It is not going to be about what does the church believe, but about what is the church doing.

Since God intends to make you like Jesus, he will take you through the same experiences Jesus went through. That includes loneliness, temptation, stress, criticism, rejection, and many other problems.

You must begin with God.

Instead of focusing on that unappeasable person, refocus on Jesus, who accepts you unconditionally.

Longing for the ideal while criticizing the real is evidence of immaturity. On the other hand, settling for the real without striving for the ideal is complacency. Maturity is living with the tension.

You didn't create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for.

Don't worry about what you don't have if you do have faith!
