If you are seeking to obey the Lord, expect opposition. Expect obstacles. Expect difficulties. But also expect God to see you throughCollection: Obstacles
God's plans for you are better than any plans you have for yourself. So don't be afraid of God's will, even if it's different from yours.Collection: God
There's a difference between remorse and repentance. Remorse is being sorry for being caught. Repentance is being sorry enough to stop.Collection: Sorry
The next time the devil tempts you to think that you are not worthy to approach God, here is what I advise: Agree. Say, “You are right. I am not worthy to approach God. I never was worthy to approach God. I never will be worthy to approach God. My access to God’s presence is not based on my worthiness, it is based on what Christ did for me on the cross.Collection: Thinking
You were placed on earth to know God. Everything else is secondary.Collection: Earth
Prayer is not the answer. God is the answer. Prayer is the vehicle by which we reach God.Collection: Prayer
God is watching us, but He loves us so much that He can't take His eyes off us. We may lose sight of God, but He never loses sight of us.Collection: God
Know this: God’s delays are not necessarily His denials. So keep praying.Collection: Delay
Jesus did not say that the whole world should go to church.Essentia lly He said that the church should go to the whole world.Collection: Jesus
God will test you because He wants you to mature. He wants you to develop a walk with Him that is not based on your fluctuating emotions, but on your commitment to Him as you learn to walk by faith.Collection: Faith
Heaven is not for good people, it's for forgiven people.Collection: People
The most miserable man or woman is the one who knows what is right and does not do it.Collection: Men
God rewards the person who is diligent. And for those who will take time in their day to seek the Lord, for those who will take time to read His Word, for those who will take time to wait upon Him, He will reveal His truths to them.Collection: God
Either you will have harmony with God and friction with people, or you will have harmony with people and friction with God.Collection: People
So here is what it comes down to: the ultimate choice in life is between pleasing ourselves and pleasing God.Collection: Life
The Bible says that in the last days, there will be people in our churches who are not true believers, among other things. Because of watered-down messages and compromise, people will feel comfortable in certain churches because they are never confronted with their sin. I believe my job as a pastor is to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable.Collection: Jobs
Sometimes, God is going to have you sow a seed. Sometimes, God is going to have you water a seed that someone else sows. Sometimes, God is going to have you reap where others have sowed and watered.Collection: Water
When you see that sunset or that panoramic view of God's finest expressed in nature, and the beauty just takes your breath away, remember it is just a glimpse of the real thing that awaits you in heaven.Collection: Real
Religion is man's attempt to reach God and Christianity is God's attempt to reach man.Collection: Men
Let heaven fill your thoughts instead. Because when you do, everything on earth gets placed in its proper perspective.Collection: Perspective
If you have faith in God, if you believe that God can use you, if you are willing to take a step of faith here and there, then God can do incredible things through you.Collection: Faith
Any step away from the cross is a step in the wrong direction.Collection: Steps
Maybe 20 years ago, there would be an event every few months or so, maybe once a year. Now, it just seems like every week there are things happening that remind us that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled and Christ is coming. Having said that, I think that should produce in the Christians, an urgency to share their faith.Collection: Christian
He who rejects the Bible has nothing to live by. Neither does he have anything to die by.Collection: Christian
Jesus took His place in a manger so that we might have a home in Heaven.Collection: Jesus
It seems like things are upside down [in America] as we see right declared as wrong, and wrong as right. God is not pointing His finger at the Supreme Court, or the White House, or the Capitol. If you are a Christian, He is looking at you and at me to humble ourselves, pray, and seek God's face. He expects us to take action.Collection: Christian
Let's commit ourselves to being true disciples of Jesus Christ. Not mere fair-weather followers, but disciples.Collection: Jesus
Every Christian needs to be informed, every Christian needs to register and every Christian should absolutely vote.Collection: Christian
God allows hardship in our lives so that our beliefs-those handholds of faith in a troubled world-will became more and more real to us and less and less theory.Collection: Faith
I have found that if you invest in the lives of people, well-feed sheep will reproduce themselves.Collection: Sheep
And any declaration of faith that does not result in a changed life and good works is a false declaration. It is faith alone that justifies. But faith that justifies can never be alone.Collection: Faith
To me, the model example of how to share your faith is Jesus with the woman at the well in John 4. He was patient with her. He took time for her. To some degree, she was kind of disrespectful to Him at first, initially kind of blowing off what he said and blowing off what he was saying to her. But then, as it continued on, she began to understand and ultimately believed.Collection: Jesus
The Bible says that in the last days that it will be like labor pains. As a woman is ready to give birth, the labor pains get closer and closer together. That's what I think we are seeing that says we are in, maybe now, the last hours because the events are getting closer together.Collection: Pain
I do believe that we are living in the last days. I know this has been said before but there are events happening in our world right now that, to me, are what we call signs of the times.Collection: Believe
You know, it is not God's desire to conceal but to reveal. The word revelation means "unveiling."Collection: Mean
My objective is to build a bridge to a person, to establish a dialogue.Collection: Bridges
I think there is always new people that have never heard the gospel before that need to have it because the gospel - which is the death, resurrection of Christ and the message of his forgiveness - is the only hope for a person knowing that they will go to Heaven and then finding the meaning and purpose they search for in life.Collection: Thinking
Sure, Christianity is a world religion and I don't deny that. But having said that, this is, when it is all said and done, a relationship with God.Collection: World Religions
The Bible says that in the last days, there would be false teachers. And, it also says that in the End Times that... there would be an apostasy.Collection: Teacher
Earth is only a pale version of heaven, not the other way around.Collection: Heaven

As time passes, you will look back with twenty-twenty hindsight, and you will say, 'Thank God He did not answer my prayers' or 'Thank God He answered my prayers,' whichever the case may be.Collection: Encouragement
What we now consider to be radical behavior was to early believers nothing more than a sincere attempt to live obediently.Collection: Sincere
The resurrection of Christ from the dead, next to the Crucifixion itself, is the most significant event in church history. It isn't a peripheral issue; it's foundational. It's bedrock. It's the bottom line.Collection: Issues
Giving is a responsibility. It is an opportunity. And it is a blessing for every follower of Jesus Christ.Collection: Jesus
The kids (in the Jesus Movement) weren't singing for themselves. It seemed like they were singing TO Someone.Collection: Jesus
I don't think we have to impose or pressure in anyway but I do think we have to engage people and try to help them to understand what the gospel even is.Collection: Thinking
I have never received a heavenly dispatch. Rather, I have found that divine guidance often comes as a result of taking steps of faith. And God not only has His will, but He also has His timing for each and every situation. The Bible tells us, 'He has made everything beautiful in its time'Collection: Beautiful
Ultimately, we know that the way a person finds salvation, the way a person comes into a relationship with God is by admitting their sin and turning to Christ. So, I think because they have done religious ritual A or B or C and think that is sufficient and that's all that is expected, now religion has become a barrier instead of a bridge and gives a false sense of satisfaction.Collection: Religious
It is going to get worse before it gets better.Collection: Get Better
