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

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.

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.

The Bible teaches that true joy is formed in the midst of the difficult seasons of life.

Are we in love with God or just His stuff?

Something is wrong when our lives make sense to unbelievers.

A relationship with God simply cannot grow when money, sins, activities, favorite sports teams, addictions, or commitments are piled up on top of it.

God’s presence is all that matters.

Lukewarm living and claiming Christ’s name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.

Proclaiming the gospel to a lost world cannot be just another activity to add to the church’s crowded agenda. It must be central to who we are. It forms our identity.

Lukewarm people call ‘radical’ what Jesus expected of all His followers.

I believe He wants us to love others so much that we go to extremes to help them.

Don’t fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.

it is no small comfort to me to know that God has called me to my work, putting me where I am and as I am. I have not sought the position, and I dare not leave it. He knows why He places me here-whether to do, or learn, or suffer.

I still love the skinny jeans thing and I wear my favorite leather jacket constantly. I like being kind of a rock star. I love that I can feel comfortable in a small dress or I can feel comfortable wearing a baggy T-shirt.

As the CEO running my life, running Meghan Trainor, I have to say ‘no’ to things all the time, and it’s been very uncomfortable and very difficult. I’ve said ‘no’ and it’s actually worked – even when I never thought it would work.

If you are always allowed to stop training whenever you feel discomfort, you will find it too easy to give yourself permission to quit.

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.
