“The point of your life is to point to Him. Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing is His.”

We have got to make disciples. Fun nights and pizza nights are not going to sustain us.

Worry implies that we don’t quite trust God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what’s happening in our lives.

True faith manifests itself through our actions.

Following Christ isn’t something that can be done halfheartedly or on the side. It is not a label we can display when it is useful. It must be central to everything we do and are.

Our lack of intimacy is due to our refusal to unplug and shut off communication from all others so we can be alone with Him.

The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.

Lukewarm people don’t really want to be saved from their sin; they want only to be saved from the penalty of their sin.

Making disciples isn’t about gathering pupils to listen to your teaching. The real focus is not on teaching people at all–the focus is on loving them.

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

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

Jesus’ call to commitment is clear: He wants all or nothing.

God’s definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

Christians are like manure: spread them out and they help everything grow better, but keep them in one big pile and they stink horribly.

I don’t have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.

A key to everything is surrender – to really come before the Lord and say, – I will literally stay here as long as you want me to stay’ or ‘God, I will really go anywhere on the earth.

God has allowed hard things in your life so you can show the world that your God is great and that knowing Him brings peace and joy, even when life is hard.

But to mean it when I say that I want my life to count for His glory is to drive a stake through the heart of self – a painful and determined dying to me that must be a part of every day I live.

If only everyone could know we’ve been created by and for God! If only we could all comprehend that we’re precious to Him, housing mirrored souls designed to reflect His glory.

Can you lay your life down, so a stranger can live? Can you take what you need, but take less than you give? Could you close every day, without the glory and fame? Could you hold your head high, when no-one knows your name?

For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.

If Jesus is here we are going to walk out of this place to live our lives to the glory of God the Father.

When you meditate the glory of the Divine shines forth. You realize then that all along there was something tremendous within you and you did not know it.

Do not glory in your own faith, your own feelings, your own knowledge, or your own diligence. Glory in nothing but Christ.

You don’t bring glory or pleasure to God by hiding your abilities or by trying to be someone else. You only bring him enjoyment by being you.
