“What we say in private we must be willing to say with a heart burning with love and honor before the face of our leaders. If not, we will poison our spirits and it will manifest in the presence of our leaders.”
John Bevere
“How can a good God appoint cruel people to positions of authority? The answer is simple: God is the originator of the authority, but He is not the author of the cruelty. Man is responsible for his cruel actions, not God. All authority is of God, but not all authority is godly.”
John Bevere
“God is seeking those who hear His call to a life of worship. Those who heed are those who will walk in His presence. They will know Him intimately as He will manifest Himself to them.”
John Bevere
“When we oppose God's delegated authority, we oppose God Himself.”
John Bevere
“We must always keep in mind all legitimate authority is from God, and is given for protection, provision, and peace.”

“Jesus wasn't seeking His own honor, but rather modeling the Honor Principle to the ones He was sent to.”
John Bevere
“True honor is an outflow from a heart that fears God.”
John Bevere
“Often God will send us what we need in a package we don't want. Why? To let us know He's God and we cannot second-guess Him. We cannot search for answers merely with our heads; we must seek Him and His provision with our hearts. Scripture cannot be interpreted from our limited human mental understanding. There must be a breath of the Spirit of God. He alone gives wise counsel and correct application.”
John Bevere
“We don't want to merely obey God: we need to catch His heart. It is then we will glimpse the wisdom behind His directives, and not just see them as laws.”
John Bevere
“We all have life-defining moments. They are like open-book tests, but we don't know we have been examined until it is over.”
John Bevere
“Christianity is not a sprint but an endurance run. Therefore it is not how we start the race that counts, but how we complete it. How we finish is determined by the choices we make, and those are often formed by patterns we develop along the way.”
John Bevere
“The man or woman who doesn't forgive has forgotten the price that Christ paid for them on the Cross.”
