When we love God with our hearts in disproportion to our minds, our faith is out of kilter with the kind of faith God wants us to have.

The Bible is clear: Truth exists. It can be known. And when we ground our beliefs in it, we are rational.

Stating a truth in an emotional way does not make what we say irrational; our beliefs being severed from truth and reality do.

Our behaviors reflect what we believe. If we want to change our behavior, we have to change our beliefs.

When we own our beliefs, we have clear boundaries. We know what we believe and we know what others believe. There is no confusion. Our identity is strong to us and everyone else.

Knowing what we believe and why we believe it is not an option for the Christian, because as believers, OUR BELIEFS ARE THE VERY HEART OF WHO WE ARE.

Consciously and unconsciously, intentionally and involuntarily, willfully and unsuspectingly, our beliefs are the sum total of our lives. It's that simple.

Nothing is as powerful as one's beliefs.

There is nothing more powerful than gaining knowledge through our beliefs via personal experiences because when we turn belief into knowledge this way, we know what we know at the very core of our being, at a visceral level.
