miracle is a shift in thinking, a shift from fear to love.

We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.

What sets lion chasers apart isn't the outcome. It's the courage to chase God-sized dreams.

As I look back on my own life, I recognize this simple truth: The greatest opportunities were the scariest lions. Part of me has wanted to play it safe, but I've learned that taking no risks is the greatest risk of all.

Jesus didn't die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous. Faithfulness is not holding the fort. It's storming the gates of hell. The will of God is not an insurance plan. It's a daring plan. The complete surrender of your life to the cause of Christ isn't radical. It's normal. It's time to quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. It's time to go all in and all out for the All in All. Pack your coffin!

Spiritual discipline: any activity I do by direct effort that will help me do what I cannot now do by direct effort.

An animal will conquer others. A Spirit-filled man conquers himself — self-discipline, self-control.

What changes need to happen in your life to enjoy Jesus more thoroughly, worship him more passionately, follow him more closely, serve him more diligently, trust him more fully, and proclaim him more boldly?

this is not a time of retreat but rather resurgence. This is not a time for compromise but rather courage.

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.

Through discipline comes freedom.

Wicked men obey from fear; good men, from love.
