“We don't get to decide who God is.”
“We judge others instantly by their clothes, their cars, their appearance, their race, their education, their social status. The list is endless. What gets me is that most people decide who another person is before they have even spoken to them. What's even worse is that these same people decide who someone else is, and don't even know who they are themselves.”
“Teenagers who do not go to church are adored by God, but they don't get to meet some of the people who love God back.”
“Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God. And people who would be happy in heaven if Christ were not there, will not be there. The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God. It's a way of overcoming every obstacle to everlasting joy in God. If we don't want God above all things, we have not been converted by the gospel.”
“If we don't press in to the things of God, we will get sucked in to the things of this world!" EL”
“You know people don't get better as we get older- we just get more of who we are.”
