True faith means holding nothing back. It means putting every hope in God's fidelity to His Promises.

Lukewarm living and claiming Christ's name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.

...there is still a need for those of us nestled deep within the Christian bubble to look beyond the status quo and critically assess the degree to which we are really living biblically.

The God of the universe--the creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor--loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.

We are scared to make mistakes, so we fret over figuring out God__ will. We wonder what living according to His will would actually look and feel like, and we are scared to find out. We forget that we were never promised a 20-year plan of action; instead, God promises multiple times in Scripture never to leave or forsake us. God wants us to listen to His Spirit on a daily basis, and even throughout the day _ My hope is that instead of searching for __od__ will for my life,_ each of us would learnt to seek hard after __he Spirit__ leading in my life today.

We have a God who is a Creator, not a duplicator.
