The dictionary offers definitions. Where do you go to derive the definition of who and whose you are?

Success should be primarily assessed on the level and kind of impact we made on others' lives.

Consider this, we constantly change/update and introduce new rules to govern behaviors in all sphere of life. On the other hand, the principles of God never changes or need to be updated or have new ones introduced. What does that say to you?

Worship is not just an act that we go to church to do. More importantly, it is a lifestyle we will live on a daily basis whether we realize it or not. 

Worship leaders and teams must realize that they do not just lead worship. Their attitude must be: We have come in worship and obedience before God to lead the congregation into a deeper sense and lifestyle of worship. 

If the apparel of the heart is filthy rags then any apparel we do wear is like the emperor with no clothes.  

If God is not real, then neither is our existence.

I have found that running away from God is not a good thing. It is a run that leads to emptiness, guilt, and condemnation. 

Blessings should not be our primary focus. What we should desire above all else is to know and understand God, so that he can make us into men and women after his heart. 

To try to live without God is like trying to live without air. Sooner or later you either die or accept the air by breathing it in. 

It is good to do things excellently. Then, pass the torch to others and pray they do it more excellently than we did, and pray that the trend continues. 

Success for us should mean living a life that serves God's purpose for us.

Think the devil is not serious about our destruction. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Not just one or two of those, but all three. 

For a Christian to define him or herself by failure is not only a deception, but an offense to our true identity. 

If you want to stay trapped in bad habits believe that you can and/or attempt to change them in your own strength. 

To see failure as part of life is revolutionary. It will transform the way we think and live. 

Christians live in defeat because our outlook is earthly and physical rather than heavenly and spiritual.
