Jesus didn't die to make us safe. He died to make us dangerous! Faithfulness isn't holding the fort. It's storming the gates of hell with the light and love of Jesus Christ.
God blesses us more so that we can be more of a blessing to others.
The greatest tragedy in life is the prayers that go unanswered simply because they go unasked.
One of the truest tests of spiritual maturity is seeing the miraculous in the monotonous.
The key to getting out of the boat is hearing the voice of God.
Over the years I've grown more comfortable with making people uncomfortable because that is when growth can happen. You need a little conflict. You need a little tension. And that is part of my calling. A little tough love goes a long way!
Finally, I learned that we shouldn’t seek answers as much as we should seek God.
Our Heavenly Father is far too wise and loves us far too much to give us everything we ask for.
Whatever you don't turn into PRAISE turns into PRIDE.
Nothing honors God more than a Big Dream that is way beyond our ability to accomplish!
You cannot build God’s reputation if you aren’t willing to risk yours.
Never underestimate the power of a single prayer.
If you've never had a God-sized dream that scared you half to death, then you haven't really come to life. If you've never been overwhelmed by the impossibility of your plans, then your God is too small. If your vision isn't perplexingly impossible, then you need to expand the radiuses of your prayer circles.
You need to circle the goals God wants you to go after, the promises God wants you to claim, and the dreams God wants you to pursue. And once you spell Jericho, you need to circle it in prayer. Then you need to keep circling until the walls come tumbling down.
When did we start believing God wants to send us to safe places to do easy things?
May you keep dreaming until the day you die. May imagination overtake memory. May you die young at a ripe old age.
I think faith is the small mustard seed of opportunities every day. For example, 'Am I going to love this person? Am I going to share my faith with this person? Am I going to pray that little prayer?' It really is a daily thing where you seize those little mustard seed opportunities and then see what God does.
We’re too Christian to enjoy sin and too sinful to enjoy Christ. We’ve got just enough Jesus to be informed, but not enough to be transformed.
God is not a genie in a bottle, and your wish is not His command. His command better be your wish.
It is absolutely imperative at the outset that you come to terms with this simple yet life-changing truth: God is for you. If you don't believe that, then you'll pray small timid prayers; if you do believe it, then you'll pray big audacious prayers.
Sure, you can choose the safety and predictability of the cage, forfeiting the adventure God has destined for you. But you won't be the only one missing out or losing out. When you lack the courage to chase the Wild Goose, the opportunity costs are staggering. Who might not hear about the love of God if you don't seize the opportunity to tell them? Who might be stuck in poverty, stuck in ignorance, stuck in pain if you're not there to help free them? Where might the advance of God's kingdom in the world stall out because you weren't there on the front lines?
The plans of God are only revealed in the presence of God.
Whatever God wants to do through you, He will do in you first. You've got to be what you want to see.
Do you trust that God is for you even when He doesn’t give you what you asked for?
The genealogy of blessing always traces back to God-ordained risk.
