“Are you struggling with sin? You don’t need more will power. You need more of Jesus.”

Be the same person privately, publically and personally.

Jesus sees our sin more clearly than anyone, yet He loves us more than anyone.

Jesus didn’t care about the scandal. He cared about the scandalous.

Notorious sinners didn’t kill Jesus. Religious people did.

I wonder if we have a lot of sons running around saying, “I want a Dad.” But you won’t abide in anyone.

Don’t you know you are the only Jesus many people will ever see? In compromising your lifestyle, you forfeit your capacity to accurately reflect God’s image and endanger an entire generation’s understanding of Jesus.

God is not in a hurry to fix us. Our behavior is not his first priority. We are his first priority. Loving us, knowing us, affirming us, protecting us. That is his top goal and his main concern.

Sometimes God takes your life for some crazy twists and turns.

What we do on Sunday absolutely doesn’t matter unless it meets us on Monday. Changes us on Monday. Transforms us on Monday.

Rules are not bad, but they can’t save anyone.

We need to abandon our scale and adopt God’s because our misguided labels keep us from the right kind of interaction with people.

The Bible is meant to be down-to-earth. It was written for real people facing real issues.

If we could get people to think about Jesus, we reasoned, Jesus was more than able to reveal himself to them.

Indifference was our greatest enemy.

When we meet grace, it becomes the fuel of our faith. We pray, we read our Bibles, we worship and we live the purest lifestyle we can because we love a person.

When you look in the eyes of grace, when you meet grace, when you embrace grace, when you see the nail prints in grace’s hands and the fire in his eyes, when you feel his relentless love for you – it will not motivate you to sin. It will motivate you to righteousness.

A friend once said, and I found to be true,That everyday people, they lie to God too, So what makes you think, that they won’t lie to you.

The greatest lesson I learned that year in Mrs. Henry’s class was the lesson Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., tried to teach us all: Never judge people by the color of their skin. God makes each of us unique in ways that go much deeper.

God teaches me about reality, so when he tells me to do something, I do, because I’m led to.

Place your attention 6 inches above your crown. God is breathing in and out there.

Surely you do not believe in the gods. What’s your argument? Where’s your proof?

I believe God will make a way.

Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.

It is man’s duty to love and to fear God, even without hope of reward or fear of punishment.
