tears stewards turns
God is the ultimate steward. He even turns our tears into the seeds of a hope filled future.
giving-up understanding answers
You cannot hold God hostage (to your questions). He doesn’t owe you an answer. If you want the peace that passes understanding, you’re going to have to give up your right to understanding. It’s called trust.
effort surrender great-effort
Great faith doesn't come out of great effort, but out of great surrender.
destiny people complacency
Your courage draws people out of complacency into their destiny.
christian religious church
Any revelation from God's Word that does not lead us to an encounter with God only serves to make us more religious. The Church cannot afford 'form without power,' for it creates Christians without purpose.
honor culture celebrate
A culture of honor is celebrating who a person is without stumbling over who they're not.
perfectly-good water thieves
Fear is a thief. It robbed Peter of a perfectly good walk on water, & kept the other eleven in the boat.
two voice people
God has called us into a place of tenderness, when nobody is looking, when there are no great decisions to make, when it’s just him and me in a hotel room, with no one to pray for, no one to preach to. When it is just two people in a room, that’s where you learn. That’s where you learn his heartbeat. That’s where you learn the presence. That’s where you learn the voice. It’s in the moments when nobody is watching, nobody is evaluating how good you’re doing. When it is just you and him.
war mind middle
The mind is either at war with God or it is being renewed. There is no middle ground.
knowing church mediocrity
I cannot live in mediocrity, content with merely knowing that there is more of God to experience and explore -and then do nothing about it. Truths that are not experienced are, in effect, more like theories than truths. Whenever God reveals truth to us He is inviting us into a divine encounter.
voice devil complaining
Complaining proves nothing but that you can hear the voice of the Devil
salt popcorn cooks
I don't like to cook, but I like to eat popcorn with butter and salt.
hair style attention
Human hair takes much more attention, as far as holding the style. You have to comb it, straighten it out, and wash and dry it.
work-out everyday three
Instead of working out three times a week, I do something physical, like a one-hour walk everyday.
