Sometimes our breakthrough begins when we refuse to be impressed with the size of our problem.
The best way to prepare yourself for your own miracle is to rejoice in somebody else's.
So Jesus came and modelled a lifestyle of power and purity because the power of the Spirit of God was on him. He was trying to show those of us who would follow what life would be like in someone who had no sin and was completely empowered by the Spirit of God.
We don't have the capacity to exaggerate God's goodness. We can distort it, or even misrepresent it, but we can never exaggerate it.
Don't let your past dictate your future.
Part of our problem is this: we are accustomed only to doing things for God that are not impossible.
When Jesus performed miracles, he wasn't demonstrating what God can do, but what God can do through a man.
I cannot live in mediocrity, content with merely knowing that there is more of God to experience and explore -and then do nothing about it. Truths that are not experienced are, in effect, more like theories than truths. Whenever God reveals truth to us He is inviting us into a divine encounter.
We are not relevant when we mirror secular culture. We are relevant when we are what they long to be.
Any revelation from God's Word that does not lead us to an encounter with God only serves to make us more religious. The Church cannot afford 'form without power,' for it creates Christians without purpose.
Religion idolizes concepts and avoids personal experience.
A culture of honor is celebrating who a person is without stumbling over who they're not.
Nothing compares with the satisfaction of pleasing the heart of our heavenly Father.
God is not pre-occupied with sin, He’s already dealt with it.

Anything you think you know about about God, that you can't find in the person of Jesus, you have reason to question.
No one has ever overdosed on encouragement.
Jesus didn't accomplish everything so that you could accomplish nothing.
I could not limit my values and pursuits to what makes others comfortable. Being possessed by a promise I live without options. I will spend the rest of my life exploring what could happen through the life of one who is willing to cultivate the God-given appetite to see impossibilities bow to the name of Jesus.
Because God is better than we think we have to change the way we think.
If you live cautiously, your friends will call you wise. You just won't move many mountains
