Worship: Where God is not moved by the quality of our voice but by the condition of our hearts.
– Chris Tomlin
Christians need to be fishers of men not keepers of the aquarium
– Rose Sims
Jesus of Nazareth always comes asking disciples to follow Him – not merely accept Him, not merely believe in Him, not merely to worship Him, but to follow Him, one either follows or one does not.
– Lee Camp from Mere Discipleship
Vision for ministry is a reflection of what God wants to accomplish through you to build His kingdom.
– George Barna
Jesus asked questions to reveal deeper truths, apply knowledge, and overcome false perceptions.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
– Romans 5:6-8

– Luke 2:13-14
