I can’t expect God’s blessing on my work unless I do it God’s way.

But Jesus wanted the crowd to know, look, 'John's (the baptist) the one who got this whole thing started.'

Jesus says, 'If it wasn't for John, I wouldn't even be here performing these miracles.'

Audacious faith is not passive. Neither is audacious prayer. Every aspiration you have in prayer needs an accompanying action. Otherwise you're not really praying. You're just pontificating. You do the natural. Trust God for the super.

Audacious faith is the raw material that authentic Christianity is made of. It's the stuff that triggers ordinarily level-headed people like you and me to start living with unusual boldness.

I choose to believe that the same God who intervened to bring his Son back to life intervened on this day in history to help his people.

When it comes to our integrity: one moment in a dark place can cast a shadow for a lifetime.

Etch your vision in stone-but sketch your strategy in pencil.
