As many have learned and later taught, you don't realize Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have.

To stand in the presence of God, that is what the Gospel is. The Gospel is not primarily about forgiveness. It’s not primarily about good feelings. It’s not primarily about power. All those things are byproducts, sparks. It’s primarily about the presence of God.

Money isn't an idol. It just shows you where your idols are.

Prayer is awe, intimacy, struggle-yet, the way to reality.
