To start the day without prayer is to suggest the devil is feeble, God is irrelevant, and we can handle things on our own.
Worldliness is whatever makes sin look normal and righteousness look strange.
We are not called to bring a broken planet back to its created glory. But we are to call broken people back to their creator.
Here's good news: God is even more committed to your change, your growth, and your transformation than you are.
You will never see the preciousness of a Savior, if you do not see the reality of your sin.
The goal of a church is not to have a bigger building or budget but to see the word of God increase and disciples multiply
It's not convincing to say you are a child of God if you have none of the characteristics of your Father.
Submission to the Scriptures is submission to God. Rebellion against the Scriptures is rebellion against God
No matter how long we have been walking with Jesus, we need to hear again, do not love the world.
Jesus didn’t do it all. Jesus didn’t meet every need. He left people waiting in line to be healed. He left one town to preach to another. He hid away to pray. He got tired. He never interacted with the vast majority of people on the planet. He spent thirty years in training and only three years in ministry. He did not try to do it all. And yet, he did everything God asked him to do.
The man who attempts Christianity without the church shoots himself in the foot, shoots his children in the leg, and shoots his grandchildren in the heart.
God did not send a concept, an idea, or a virtue. He sent his Son. Follow the God of love, not love as your god.
Some Christians need encouragement to think before they act. Others need encouragement to act after they think.
The world needs to see Christians burning, not with self-righteous fury at the sliding morals in our country, but with passion for God.
Scripture is profitable for training in righteousness. No one succeeds at the highest level in sports without working out. No one makes it in music without lots of practice. No one excels in scholarship without years of study. And no one makes it far in the school of holiness without hours and days and years in the word. You and I simply will not mature as quickly, minister as effectively, or live as gloriously without immersing ourselves in the Scriptures. We need the Bible if we are to be competent Christians.
When you share the gospel, you're not calling people to a better way of life, you're proclaiming to them eternal life.
All paths lead to God, but only one path will present you before God without fault and with great joy. Pick a path, any path—it will take you to God. Trust me: you will stand before Him one day. You will meet your Maker. You will see the face of Christ. There are many ways up the mountain, but only one will result in life instead of destruction.
The next time someone tells you, "The Church is full of a bunch of hypocrites." You can respond, "You don't even know the half of it."
Those trapped in sin will not normally thank you for pointing out the darkness in their lives.
One of the signs that you are walking in the light is that you are honest about having walked in the darkness.
Holiness is the sum of a million little things — the avoidance of little evils and little foibles, the setting aside of little bits of worldliness and little acts of compromise, the putting to death of little inconsistencies and little indiscretions, the attention to little duties and little dealings, the hard work of little self-denials and little self-restraints, the cultivation of little benevolences and little forbearances.
You cannot be in Christ and be indifferent to the sin in your life.
Perhaps God brought you into this mess so that he can bring you out of it for his glory.
The richest treasure God has for you are the people in your life. Give thanks and don't take them for granted.
As Christians living in changing times, we must keep three things open: our heads, our hearts, and our Bibles.
