When loving Him becomes obligation, one of the many things we have to do, we end up focusing even more on ourselves.
...I don't think my church's teachings were incorrect, just incomplete.
It's pride, plain and simple, that keeps me from giving God all the glory and keeping some of it for myself. It is a battle we all fight in some form or another, some of us daily or even hourly.
Allow God to be as creative with you as He is with each of us.
Marriage is one of the most humbling, sanctifying journeys you will ever be a part of. It forces us to wrestle with our selfishness and pride. But it also gives us a platform to display love and commitment.
We are so used to multi-tasking. 2014 was probably the most productive year of my life...But I noticed during the last couple of months when I would get alone with God it was hard to do one thing at a time.
Multi-tasking is keeping me from whole-hearted worship.
Christ can come back at any time so the one thing you want to have in your life is a focused prayer time.
My only prayer for my time with you is, "God I just want these men and women to long for you."
The enemy just hates our prayers.
There's no sense in improving your marriage until you are secure with God.
You have access to the Tent Of Meeting.
Some people say I would love to take a selfie with Moses. Do you understand the gap between Moses and God?
If life is a river, then pursuing Christ requires swimming upstream. When we stop swimming, or actively following Him, we automatically begin to be swept downstream.
