Gratitude is like muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets.

The world has fallen so in love with lies that the truth feels like hate.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

CAN or WILL? More than once, Kasi and/or I have received messages saying, "You need to stop saying that God CAN heal your son Titus, and start saying God WILL heal your son." As though my wording is holding God back, and my faith is not strong enough to say WILL.

This is where theology that is not grounded in TRUTH can be harmful. I always INTENTIONALLY say that, "God CAN heal our son." Just because God CAN, doesn't necessarily mean He WILL here on earth! (Now, I do believe He WILL in eternity.)

The Apostle Paul prayed for God to remove a "thorn of the flesh". However, as far as we know from Scripture, God chose not to remove it. Did Paul lack faith? Did he get his wording wrong in the prayer? Nope! God was using it in Paul's life.

FAITH is not using the right wording to manipulate God to do what you want Him to. Faith is trusting that God CAN, but even if God is choosing not to - He has a WILL that is bigger and better than our "hopes that He WILL". FAITH is the ability to TRUST God even when you don't understand, even when it doesn't make sense, and even when He is not doing what you want Him to. Because, He has a WILL that is far more glorious that our WILL.

May His WILL be done...

“As you perhaps know, I haven't always been a Christian. I didn't go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don't recommend Christianity.” ―C.S. Lewis

SPRINGHILL suites staff was unhelpful and unapologetic. Disappointed with Marriott to say the least.

[P D Atkins @ServproMan]

Just left Marriott SPRINGHILL suites near Hobby airport in Houston. Our room smelled like someone had smoked entire pack of cigarettes in it. We were in the room all of 2 minutes They are sold out. Didn’t refund our money, had to go back to airport and find another hotel room.

No matter what society screams…Gods word will never change.

You cannot be full of the Holy Spirit if you are full of yourself.

As churches, if we only focus on weekend experiences, then we’ll primarily only produce weekend Christians.

Wow, @greglaurie — this is very powerful — and a story you lived first hand and know do well! Can’t wait to see the #JesusRevolutionMovie. Keep up the great work, my friend!

The Bible doesn’t say, “well done good and faithful…”

pastor,
leader,
blogger,
podcaster,
preacher,
author,
influencer,
committee member,
director,
donor,
creative,
celebrity,
or worship leader.

It says, “servant”. Every thing we do must be approached with that mindset.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

We shouldn't talk to people about God, until we talk to God about people. Evangelism starts with prayer.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

When the church starts living what it says it believes, we’ll see revival indeed.

[Christian Quotes @ReformedPastors]

When I look at myself, I don't see how I can be saved.

But when I look at Christ, I don't see how I can be lost.

One of the things I have to constantly remind myself as a Christian using social media…

It’s the kindness of the Lord that leads people to repentance, not the aggressiveness of social media.

[Dan White Jr. @danwhitejr]

People have been trained in how to draw a crowd, create an event, or give a good talk from stage.

However, few have been equipped to engage their neighborhood, make disciples, and cultivate community.

You don’t always have the power to control, but you do have the power to surrender.

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

I love that on the 1st Pentecost Sunday, it is the Apostle Peter who preaches. This same Peter had just denied Jesus a few weeks earlier.

The Holy Spirit is not a reward for good behavior & unwavering faith. The Holy Spirit is a gift to those who turn to Jesus & wait on him.
