The church of the Bible was dynamic, powerful, and life-changing. So why has church attendance today been declining?
When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
God wants us to both have our own happy and satisfying life and to help others have an opportunity for that life, too.
Everyone can become a spiritual leader, but it begins with the decision to allow God to make you into one.
Building self-discipline is what gives us the ability to bridge the gap between aspiration and victory.
God wants us to evaluate ourselves by how deep and strong our faith is. He doesn’t evaluate our spiritual condition by looking at how we appear on the surface. The depth of our faith determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us.
There is no doubt that this world is changing, but it is up to each of us to decide and influence how it changes.
God wants us to have friends we can be completely ourselves with, but this can only happen if we let go of control.
God’s dream is to free us from the things we feel imprisoned by. He wants us to feel comforted, confident, and happy.
There are many things that aim to undermine our faith: our guilt, different diagnoses, depression, anxiety, fear, and various circumstances. God wants to build our faith and confidence to be so strong it can handle anything thrown our way.
The key to turning our emotion into action is trusting God.
