“Having faith often means doing what others see as crazy.”

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.

If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then you are an excellent leader.

The challenge before us right now is still immense and growing, and so is the need for bold action to fight this pandemic.

Mental toughness is a state of mind – you could call it character in action.

Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.

Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them.

You can start changing our world for the better daily, no matter how small the action.

Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.
