Zitat des Tages von Mark Batterson:
If you really believe in the message you're preaching, you want as many people as possible to listen.
When we change the way that we pray, everything changes.
Prayer is not about letting God know your will; it's about completely submitting to him. You die to yourself.
Too often the word 'prayer' induces guilt because we don't do enough of it. After all, I've never met anyone who said they pray too much! All of us fall short. And we often feel like our prayers fall flat.
To me, growing into spiritual maturity is becoming less self-conscious and more God-conscious.
Part of my driving desire as a pastor is to remove every obstacle except the cross that would keep people from coming to faith in Christ.
I'm pretty intentional about being highly invested in my kids' lives.
Email helps me keep in touch with my family. I wouldn't know what my extended family was doing every day if we weren't emailing each other.
In my experience, take the Holy Spirit out of the equation of your life and it spells boring. Add it into the equation of your life and you never know where you are going to go, what you are going to do, or who you are going to meet.
The greatest tragedy in life is that some prayers go unanswered as they go unasked.
