God never asked for a half of a commitment or a partial commitment. You have to choose to be all in.

Wisdom will cost us something. Wisdom is death to ourself because it's death to what we think is right. It's death to being right because God's the only one that's right.

It's much easier for the Lord to steer you if you're moving than if you're tethered to the dock.

A lack of discipline may not cause you to lose your salvation, but it 

could very well cause you to lose your ministry.

When God becomes our Father, two of the most significant things in every single one of our lives change. The first one is he gives us a definition of our identity. He defines who we are. And the second is that he affirms our value.

If our actions are consistent with our words, I believe it provides little wiggle room for our kids. Don't give them any wiggle room. Make sure your actions line up with your words.

His return means our resurrection. His return means accountability for how we live this life. His return means reward for stewardship, a fulfillment of his word, everyone, and a response from us regarding how we lived.

Jesus isn't returning for a bickering bride, but a spotless one.

The greater the suffering, the greater the anointing. And if you have gone through that and forgive the angels in heaven say, congratulations, you got a promise of blessing no one else has.

God will not enable you before you're faithful. He enables you because you're faithful, and then he puts you in the ministry.

I don't ever want to lose the wonder. I don't ever want to lose the amazement. I don't want to just casually  kind of come into God's presence and just take  everything for granted.

When the Holy Spirit speaks, He speaks to your heart. That's why you feel it and then wrestle with it in your mind.

I don't believe the devil is intimidated by your gifting. I do believe that once you find out what you're anointed by God to do, that you pose the biggest threat to the enemy.

Isn't it amazing how the Holy Spirit gives you instruction, but He 

doesn't always give you explanation?

The more peaceful I get, the more peaceful everything around me becomes. It's amazing.

You're going to cease blaming God and you're going to exchange that for trusting him. I think that's the difference between true spiritual growth. You exchange your blaming for trusting God.

I'm not a sinner saved by grace. I was a sinner, and I am saved by grace.

Our value can't be determined by our relationship status or by whether someone else likes us or not. Our value is rooted in God who created us.

Prayer causes us to direct our thoughts and attentions toward God. Anxiety is broken through prayer from a thankful heart.

Proclamation: We believe in God who gives life to the dead and speaks into being, that which does not exist.
