The devil doesn’t always trap us through obstacles, sometimes he traps us through opportunities, even good ones. Just because it looks good doesn’t mean it’s always God. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Sin is messy and costly. When we downplay it, it shows we’ve been deceived by it. Only thing you can do with it is die to it, drag it into the light and say no to it by the power of Christ. Avoid it by ALL means. Jesus is better.

The grace of God not only saves us from sin, but sustains us through struggle. Don’t just trust Him to save you from the flames of hell, trust Him to sustain you through the flames of life.

What should we be doing with our lives? What’s the secret to fulfillment? God gives us three that are connected to each other: Love God Love Others Lead People To Jesus

Oftentimes we miss God's purposes because we're preoccupied with our plans.

In case you didn’t know, God specializes in taking broken pieces and turning them into masterpieces. You don’t have to fix things before you come to Him. Come to Him and He’ll take care of the fixing.

What we worry about the MOST reveals where we trust God the LEAST.

Whatever you think you need to be satisfied in life, Jesus is better.

Cultural commitment looks for ways to exit, but covenantal commitment looks for ways to endure.

The only way the devil wins is if you quit. Keep going. God has more for you.

The enemy is a master at selling us the benefit of quitting while hiding the price tag of it (what it will cost). Since he can’t change what God has for you, he’ll try to stop you from pursuing it. Keep going. There’s more on the other side of your perseverance.

Our love for others is often tested and revealed not when we’re treated well by people, but when we’re mistreated by people.

Growth begins when you get into God's Word and allow God's Word to get into you.

Unity means we can still walk hand in hand even when we don’t see eye to eye.

How to press through if you're going through a battle in your life right now? 1. Trust God FOR all things. 2. Trust God IN all things. 3. Trust God WITH all things.

Just an encouraging reminder for you: Broken crayons still color. Your life doesn’t have to be perfect for God to use you. You still have purpose. You still have value. You are still loved.

A major part of the reason we Christians have a shallow witness is because we have a shallow walk. The world doesn’t believe our message because our lives say we don’t believe our message. #yearoftherebuild

Faith isn’t always about stepping out, many times it’s about staying (remaining). There are some things God gives grace to escape and there’s other times He gives grace to endure. It takes discernment to recognize the difference.

God’s favor (grace) will get you in places and spaces that your grind can’t. Grind and hustle are good, but God’s favor is the game changer. You need grind but you need grace more. You need grace for the grind.

Satan uses distraction and discouragement to keep our eyes off of Jesus. But the good news is that even when you took your eyes off of Jesus, He never took His eyes off of you. Keep going!
