"God, I thought you said this thing was going to happen? When will I see the dream that you gave me? When will healing come?" There seems to be so many things we're asking for God to do, but he assures us that if it's in his plan, it is yet for the appointed time

" I want to talk to someone who may be in the midst of a storm that has the intent of destroying them and any hope that they have in Christ. The Spirit of the Lord told me today that you may have been burst, you may have been bound, you may have been beaten, but you are loved."

"Now many black people, including myself, feel the pressure to code switch, depending on what environment that you're in. I've certainly felt it. Your job is to have the confidence and the calmness to be the person that God created you to be."

The difference between worrying and praying is who you address your attention to. See, worrying, you focus on the problem, and you pointed at yourself. But prayer, you take the attention off yourself and off the situation, and you refocus it on God.

Booker T. Washington said, "Character, not circumstances, make the man." And too often, we look at what people have or what they can do, and that's how we choose people that we want to be around, but it's character that is the number one trait you look for in friends.

The person that's talking to you right now grew up as a compulsive stutterer. One of my greatest fears in life was talking because it was so painful. And you know what God did in his grace? He made me a part of his new race, which means I've got resurrection power.

"Some of you ask how playing football can do anything to help others or advance God's purposes. As a young man, people in my church were asking that question as my football career developed, not openly, but I could hear the whispers that I was wasting my time."

"Stones are what the Bible itself is, connecting us to people most of us ain't never seen, places most of us have never visited, and a God none of us have ever physically beheld. How does the truth of scripture become real to us if we haven't seen these things?"

"Any progress when it comes to racial justice has come about through the determination of a small but committed group of individuals who chose to fight racism and get on this journey toward racial justice and stay on it."

"It's okay to appreciate the gift God gave us, that it's okay to know the gifts that he's deposited and the gifts that we have to offer to the world. It's okay to say, "You know what? This is what God has blessed me with, and this is what I can bless you with."

[UrbanFaith @UrbanFaith]

"You've been asking God to do greater in your life. You want more? Come on. You want to get out that boat? You want your business to be better? Come on. What are you doing on the boat? You are not a boat dweller."

[UrbanFaith @UrbanFaith]

"Too many folk are waiting on the light of day to meet Jesus, but will you look for Jesus while it is yet dark? Will you go to Jesus in the doom and gloom? Are you afraid of the dark? The dark might be the place where Jesus reveals his glory to you."

[UrbanFaith @UrbanFaith]

"I've got a witness who knows there's no hurt like church hurt. If there's any place that ought to feel like home, it ought to be God's sanctuary. This place should be your spiritual refuge..."

[UrbanFaith @UrbanFaith]

"We as Christians tend to deal with pain inappropriately. We minimize it. I mean, we just continue moving forward. We got God and we are just going to continue singing. We go to church. We just, you don't deal with it, right? Because it's not socially acceptable. "

[UrbanFaith @UrbanFaith]

"Nabeel, if Christianity were true and it meant you had to give up everything to follow God, would you want to know the truth?" It took a long time before I was able to determine for myself, even if I lose everything it's worth it.
