Those who expect great things from God are the ones who attempt great things for God

Refuse to live a safe Christianity, push out and away from the dock of apathy, say YES to God’s call on your life, and pursue Him with all your heart.
You will find yourself accomplishing much for the Gospel of Christ!

Cultural demise?
The church has joy.
Political disorder?
The church has joy.
Worldwide upheaval?
The church has joy.
A joy that streams, without any circumstantial obstruction, out of a heart that is wholly satisfied in Christ and the promises of Scripture.

The soul's proper food is found in one book, the Bible.

Some types of sharks have to keep swimming in order to stay alive. Once they stop moving, they begin to suffocate. That’s also true for followers of Jesus. We have to keep moving to stay alive. We have to want more in our relationship with Christ. We have to want more for our future. We have to want to be different or we will be like everyone else who falters.
Life is a fight, and only the faithful will finish strong.

We cannot expect the world to believe that the Father sent the Son, that Jesus’ claims are true and that Christianity is true unless the world sees some reality of the oneness of true Christians.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

“People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they have not communicated with each other.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
“I have decided to stick with love. . . . Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
To be a Christian is not only to believe the teaching of Christ, and to practice it; it is not only to try to follow the pattern and example of Christ; it is to be so vitally related to Christ that His life and His power are working in us. It is to be “in Christ,” it is for Christ to be in us.
~Martyn Lloyd-Jones~
“Leadership in the kingdom of God is from the bottom up, not a grasping, controlling, or lording it over others. It is leading out of failure and pain, questions and struggles—a serving that let's go,” Peter Scazzero
Spiritually —and emotionally—healthy people are humble because they allow themselves to be real, to be broken, vulnerable, and to let go because Jesus did.

Christ will never divorce the church.
The cascade of His love to her will never dissolve, for it runs from eternity past to eternity future.

Church history is full of stories about believers who risked their lives to do great things for Jesus. Nations impacted, cities changed, families transformed & lives restored all because they were willing to follow God into the impossible.
Live your life for the kingdom of God!

The law of God demands performance by man; the grace of God offers provision from God. The law of God is the standard; the grace of God is the means. The law of God is the spiritual measuring rod that evaluates lives; the grace of God is the nurturing resource that produces spiritual life. The law of God tells us of the character of God; the grace of God reproduces that character in us. The law of God is the effect God wants to see; the grace of God is the cause that brings forth that effect.

The only way the kingdom of God is going to be manifest in this world before Christ comes is if we manifest it by the way we live as citizens of heaven and subjects of the King.

Examples can be either negative (what not to do), or positive (what to do). In this same way, watching and learning from the Jews throughout the Old Testament has taught us the consequences of a lack of faith, as well as the gigantic blessings of a return to faith.

Gospel culture is just as serious and substantive as gospel doctrine. But there is this difference:
Nurturing gospel culture is more demanding personally.
I can preach gospel doctrine with a proud heart. (I often have.) But nurturing gospel culture demands a humble heart.

Distraction robs us of the ability to both live in the moment and discern what lasts.
