James 2:19- ‘You believe there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that- and shudder.’ God doesn’t just want us to have good theology; He wants us to know and love Him.

The core problem isn’t the fact that we’re lukewarm, halfhearted, or stagnant Christians. The crux of it all is why we are this way, and it is because we have an inaccurate view of God.

The theology that matters is not the theology we profess but the theology we practice.

It’s much less demanding to think about God’s will for your future than it is to ask Him what He wants you to do in the next ten minutes.

I hope we can go beyond our current understanding of the Holy Spirit and begin to commune openly... that our experience with Him would be day by day, even moment by moment. That by keeping in step with the Spirit, we might regularly fellowship over what He’s doing rather than what He did months or years ago.

As soon as we do this, we are putting God’s actions in submission to our own reasoning, which is a ridiculous thing for the clay to do.
