Words not spoken in love, are like knocking on a door of an empty house. You can make a lot of noise but no one will respond.

Teachings on faith have become like coat after coat of varnish on old master paintings, darkening their color. We have been swindled by theologies and theories from the simplicity which is in Christ. They have pushed faith out of reach, as something remote, a rare mystery granted only by the sovereign will of God. Yes, God does give faith. Faith is the gift of God. But it is God’s gift to everybody, for every child sitting at His table. "God has dealt to every man the measure of faith". We can choose to use it or not. Ephesians 2:8 declares "Ye are saved through faith and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God". Misreading this verse some people wait for faith to come, or say "I am not a faith person, I don’t have that gift". Faith IS the gift of God, and so is sight and hearing and every faculty. They are powers we all possess and use, and faith is a similar faculty. So, "fear not, only believe."
Norman L. Geisler
The highest freedom is the freedom from evil, not the freedom of doing evil.
Blaise Pascal
There is nothing that we can see on earth which does not either show the wretchedness of man or the mercy of God. One either sees the powerlessness of man without God, or the strength of man with God.

The man who measures things by the circumstances of the hour is filled with fear; the man who sees Jehovah enthroned and governing has no panic.

The highest call of God on your life is to be a laid down lover of Jesus, full stop. From that place flows the joy and grace to love others. The Jesus in you is bright, full of hope, and captivating. By loving the Lord wholeheartedly, people will be softened by the purity of your heart and inspired by your hope and passion. Living fully redeemed and lovesick is the greatest invitation of our generation and the pathway to true revival.

All of us must daily do whatever we can within our sphere of influence to ensure that we treat every human being with love, respect and dignity, and ensure that we acknowledge the image of God in every person. Together, we can be the difference we want to see in this world.
Ole Kristian O. Hallesby
When prayer is a struggle, do not worry about the prayers that you cannot pray. You yourself are a prayer to God at that moment. All that is within you cries out to Him. And he hears all the pleas that your suffering soul and body are making to Him with groanings which cannot be uttered.

How do the lost and hurting feel around you? Do they sense your compassion and concern, or do they feel devalued, shamed, or belittled?

As we embrace our identity, we will no longer be tossed to and fro by the culture we were actually called to transform. Knowing who we are is the foundation of everything we do! We are saved because we believe in Jesus, but we are free when we believe like Jesus. By renewing our minds to align with the truths of God's thoughts for us, we will be fully equipped to transform our realms of influence and bring about change for His glory.
