Faith, in its most correct form, never removes responsibility; it removes fear of responsibility. The results are complete opposites with the greater saying, 'God's will is my delight.

God favors men and women who delight in being made worthy of happiness before the happiness itself.

You are evidence of your mother's strength, especially if you are a rebellious knucklehead and regardless she has always maintained her sanity.

The common man prays, 'I want a cookie right now!' And God responds, 'If you'd listen to what I say, tomorrow it will bring you 100 cookies.

The core tenet of worldly religion and the pure heart of the Lord Jesus are different in that one is centered around being a good person while the other flows for obedience. While these two roads are bound to intersect at some points, they were never promised to always run parallel (namely when considered through the traditions of men, or those who despise Jesus, or those who do not know and love Jesus).

God is not a God of confusion, although at times one's judgment, for a period, may become clouded in the mi(d)st of one's growth process. I stopped fooling myself into thinking that Christ is always for the cool kids and never for those upright and uptight religious people everybody hates.

A true prophet would rather be believed false by many but actually true than believed true by many but actually false.

In our worldly perceptions of Jesus, we tend to embrace the kindness of his love ('be encouraged') but not the discipline of his love ('and sin no more'). But with the whole scope of his love, or maturity in Christ, we begin relying on him for guidance where we would prefer him to walk beside us rather than behind us.
