In the absence of faith, our dreams will move from feasible aspirations to implausible fantasy.

It’s not a lack of opportunity around me. Rather, it’s a lack of faith within me.

I have plenty of faith, but more often than not it’s faith in the belief that faith doesn’t work.

If Jesus is in the storm, then there is no need for us to be in the boat. Yet, too many Christians spend all of their time wandering around the marina being in neither boat nor storm.

I want to have a robust vision for what God can do, but I want to have an equally robust passion to get out of His way so that He can do it.

God never delays. Rather, it is our ‘delayed’ willingness to embrace the genius of God as held against the ignorance of our shallowness, for such a crippling posture infuses a sense of delay directly into the middle of strategic perfection.

If I errantly define myself by the limiting rubrics of a limited culture, I will not even begin to understand the slightest fraction of who I am. What I need to realize is that God does not work in fractions.

To hide is our insecurities telling God that what we fear is bigger than Who He is. And in this case, maybe we should shoot the messenger.

If I am not at 'peace', then I can be altogether confident that I've placed a larger 'piece' of myself in the hands of someone other than God.
