“In friendship…we think we have chosen our peers. In reality a few years’ difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles between certain houses, the choice of one university instead of another…the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a first meeting–any of these chances might have kept us apart. But, for a Christian, there are, strictly speaking no chances. A secret master of ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to the disciples, ‘Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,’ can truly say to every group of Christian friends, ‘Ye have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another.’ The friendship is not a reward for our discriminating and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others.”’

“People need to be encouraged. People need to be reminded of how wonderful they are. People need to be believed in—told that they are brave and smart and capable of accomplishing all the dreams they dream and more. Remind each other of this.”

“Don’t let the fear of slipping back into old ways stop you from setting out to accomplish what I have called you to do. Fill yourself with Me and there will be no more room for sin.”

“My father counselled his four sons never to say ‘I love you’ to a woman until they were ready to follow immediately with ‘will you marry me?’. Nor should they think of saying ‘will you marry me’ unless they had first said ‘I love you’. How much pain and confusion would be averted if men followed that rule.”

“The weakness of so many modern Christians is that they feel too much at home in the world.”

Church Camp
Watching the reaction on peoples faces when I tell them, “At my church camp we have rap battles.”, is priceless.

“I want to be a woman who lives totally abandoned to the first commandment: to love my Lord, my God, with all my heart. I don’t want the reputation that I love God, I don’t want to write songs about loving God, I don’t want to talk about loving God. I want to actually love God. When I close my eyes, I want my heart to move. When I close my eyes and I look at Him, I want to feel alive on the inside. I want to look at Him with a fire in my heart and it’s real.”

“God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. The answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of dos and don’ts—it’s falling in love with God”
