“Can you worship a God who isn’t obligated to explain His actions to you? Could it be your arrogance that makes you think God owes you an explanation?”

We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving ourselves because we were made to do these things.

Jesus said go and make disciples, but so often we just sit and make excuses.

The greatest knowledge we can ever have is knowing God treasures us.

When I am consumed by my problems-stressed out about my life, my family, and my job-I actually convey the belief that I think the circumstances are more important than God’s command to always rejoice.

God never breaks His promises.

God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him.

Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made?

God is love, but He also defines what love is. We don’t have the license to define love according to our standards.

Do you understand that it’s impossible to please God in any way other than wholehearted surrender?

We are here to love. Not much else matters.

The message of the Bible is not about God in Heaven who wants to take from you. It’s about God who wants to give to you.

We should be so joyful from God’s grace that others would respond by saying, ‘I wish I had your God.

Has your relationship with God changed the way you live your life?

We need to be more concerned about who we are before God than our reputation before people.

We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.

Without action and fruit, all the theology in the world has little meaning.

Perfection comes from the disinterested performance of an action on a continuous basis.

Men are mistaken in thinking themselves free; their opinion is made up of consciousness of their own actions, and ignorance of the causes by which they are determined.

If we do not know how to meaningfully talk about racism, our actions will move in misleading directions.

Those who can think, but cannot express what they think, place themselves at the level of those who cannot think.

A leader, once convinced a particular course of action is the right one, must have the determination to stick with it and be undaunted when the going gets tough.

If you want to be respected for your actions, then your behavior must be above reproach. If our lives demonstrate that we are peaceful, humble, and trusted, this is recognized by others.

Out of anger comes controversy, out of controversy comes conversation, out of conversation comes action.

To make one good action succeed another, is the perfection of goodness.
