You can't meet Jesus and not change. If you haven't changed, you haven't met the real Jesus.
Everyone has something to teach you if you are humble enough to learn.
You don't need to beat yourself up in order to make God love you. Jesus already took your beating.
Faith is not just what we believe internally. It's how we behave externally.
The Bible is not a book of principles to live by but rather a Person to live for.
Our identity is not in our joy, and our identity is not in our suffering. Our identity is in Christ, whether we have joy or are suffering.
God loves you enough to receive you as you are. He loves you too much to keep you as you are.
Tragically, we live in a day when offense to God doesn't matter nearly as much as offense to others.
Study the Bible like a soldier on a mission, not a scholar on a sabbatical.
Sometimes prayer moves the hand of God, and sometimes prayer changes the heart of the person who is praying.
Everything may not be OK but if God is with you, you will be OK.
If you're not a Christian, you're going to hell. It's not unloving to say that. it's unloving not to say that.
Some will tell you that there are multiple worldviews. The Bible says we have only 2: the Truth and the Lie.
We're not to follow our hearts, we're to guard our hearts.
Stop looking for the path of least resistance and start running down the path of greatest glory to God and good to others, because that's what Jesus, the Real Man, did.
Looking for a word from the Lord? Believe that he has already spoken, and read what he's already written.
Truthless times need timeless truths.
A single woman should only marry a man she can follow: Ladies if you are single, be very, very careful who you date and marry. Don't just date a man who you can put up with, marry a man you can trust, you'll follow his leadership, you'll respect him, he's saved, he's godly. The last thing you want is some guy you don't trust, he's not wise, he doesn't do his homework, he's harsh, he's inconsiderate, he's immature, he's a boy, you're more his mother than you are his mate, Real danger...real danger...
Much of spirituality today is an effort to change God to suit us. But he's not going to become more like us, we need to become more like him.
Past: Jesus saved us from the penalty of sin. Present: He saves us from the power of sin. Future: He will save us from the presence of sin.
Idols tend to be good things that you have turned into god things, which therefore become bad things
So let me tell you this, when it comes to...trying to introduce other people to Jesus. Don't get mad at them: it's not because they're stupid. It's because they're blind. Yelling louder, arguing harder, pushing firmer won't make someone who is blind see. Pray for them, speak to them, care for them.
This world needs more than good works. It needs good news. Good works come out of the good news.
You know what I find amazing is within Christianity it is not uncommon to find [married] people who don't have sexual intimacy, don't have emotional intimacy, don't have spiritual intimacy, don't pray together, don't do their life together, don't put their schedules together, don't put their budgets together, but they don't get divorced. So they can pat themselves on the back and say, 'We're good Christians.' They're divorced in everything but the paperwork.
The church was custom built by Jesus, and we are all works in progress. We do not expect people to get their sin in order before attending church any more than a hospital expects people to get healed before they show up.
