“No sin, no matter how momentarily pleasurable, comforting, or habitual, is worth missing what God has for us.”

Whether we get to avoid pain and suffering or we must persevere in the midst of it, our deliverance comes when we’re dragged from the enemy of our souls to the heart of God.

Spiritual maturity does not mean that we will never make wrong plans. In fact, spiritual maturity often means having the courage to admit we’ve made the wrong plans.

Sometimes a storm in your life is what will blow you to the place you are longing to be.

You haven’t been through one thing that God cannot heal you from.

Ministry to an individual is as mighty an act of God as is ministry to the masses.

If you are still alive, then God is NOT finished with you!

God has promised to every single one of us that even in our hardest times, if we would just hang on long enough, the blessing will come.

Jealousy takes root in the soil of insecurity.

It is not about never doubting, it is about coming out on the other side with twice the faith you had going into your doubt.

Believe that God has heard you.

Trust God for your current life circumstances and believe that He has called you this day to be courageous.

Forgiveness doesn’t make the situation OK, it makes you OK.

It’s never fun when we’re in the midst of the storm. But when we land someplace we know we never could have found on our own, it is a beautiful thing.

People don’t need Christians to act like we always have it together. People need us to be real! What kind of healing would come if we all just got real before God and others?

To God, our journey is JUST as important as our destination!

Men are not our problem; it’s what we are trying to get from them that messes us up. We use guys like mirrors to see if we’re valuable.

God affords no man the comfort, the false comfort of Atheism: He will not allow a pretending Atheist the power to flatter himself, so far, as to seriously think there is no God.

Feeling more comfortable onstage is something I’ve worked on – it’s really about just being the artist I am.

I want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may piss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion.

I prefer to live in a rented house. No ties. Nothing around my neck. Just the minimum kind of bare comforts of home.

Why would we need to experience the Comforter if our lives are already comfortable?

But God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn’t come through.

There is no comfort anywhere for anyone who dreads to go home.

Brands mature over time, like a marriage. The bond you feel with your spouse is different than when you first met each other. Excitement and discovery are replaced by comfort and depth.
