God Is Love

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. ~ 1 John 4:16 (NIV)

Joyful Worshipers

God is pursuing with omnipotent passion a worldwide purpose of gathering joyful worshipers for Himself from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. He has an inexhaustible enthusiasm for the supremacy of His name among the nations. Therefore, let us bring our affections into line with His, and, for the sake of His name, let us renounce the quest for worldly comforts and join His global purpose. ~ John Piper

What is Wrong?

Rather than seeing what's wrong in our lives, what's wrong in the world, and what God wants to do to fill in the gaps, we are to frequently look at what God has given us how He has blessed His gifts, and what He has already done to fill in the gaps.....We often barely notice that our glass is filling up; we focus on its remaining emptiness.

~ Chris Tiegreen

The CURE...

"If you found a cure for cancer, wouldn't it be inconceivable to hide it from the rest of mankind? How much more inconceivable to keep silent the cure from the eternal wages of death." ~ Dave Davidson

Tithing in America

My take on tithing in America is that it’s a middle-class way of robbing God. Tithing to the church and spending the rest on your family is not a Christian goal. It’s a diversion. The real issue is: How shall we use God’s trust fund—namely, all we have—for His glory? In a world with so much misery, what lifestyle should we call our people to live? What example are we setting? ~ John Piper

Real Discipleship...

If we were willing to learn the meaning of real discipleship...the resultant impact on our society would be staggering. ~ David Watson

Sacrifice...

Nothing is really lost by a life of sacrifice; everything is lost by failing to obey God's call. ~ Henry Parry Liddon

Victorious Christian

The victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ. ~ A.W. Tozer

Strangely Dim...

The things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace. ~ Helen H. Lemmel

Stability in Him

"When you don't know what God is doing, you can find stability in who He is. The more you know about Him, the more you'll be able to hang on when life feels as if it's in the derailment mode." Beth Moore

Revival...

The only reason we don’t have revival is because we are willing to live without it! ~ Leonard Ravenhill

Kool-Aid...

We've taken the lifeblood out of Christianity and put Kool-Aid in its place so that it tastes better to the crowds, and the consequences are catastrophic. 

~ David Platt

Overvalue...Undervalue...

Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are. ~ Malcolm S. Forbes

Will of God

We talk much of the meek and lowly Jesus, but there were other aspects of His character. We need to recover His hatred of sin - His condemnation of whatever stood in the way of the will of God and the good of others. ~ Vance Havner
