“As it relates to morality, we typically compare ourselves to others. Stand yourself up next to Hitler, a terrorist, or some sex offender, and all of a sudden, you’re a saint by comparison. But when matched up beside God’s pristine holiness and standards, you and I come up very short.”

“grenade over the wall…and from a distance. And the world continues on its downward path, unaware that a global storm is gathering. Though Christians are, by nature, salt and light, we’re also masters at hiding in the saltshaker and hitting the dimmer switch. However, as the floodwaters of godlessness continue rising, we may find that simply tossing gospel life preservers to drowning victims may be a case of too little, too late. Like a dead body, our world is slowly decomposing, and God’s Spirit working though His people is all that delays the process, postponing inevitable judgment.44 Noah’s world didn’t begin without God, but it sure ended up that way. Look around. Which way do you think we’re headed? And what are you doing about it?”

“Pride can easily cause us to nod our heads in agreement at God’s Word and yet not allow it to gain traction in our hearts and minds. Complacency is one of the Christian’s worst enemies.”

“Jesus’s voice today trumpets reveille to a drowsy bride. It’s a clarion call, jolting us to attention and rousing us all out of our collective slumber. This voice is a familiar one. We’ve heard it thousands of times before. Calling in our spirit. Reviving us. Rescuing from danger. Romancing us back to Him. Confronting us in our sin. Comforting us in our confusion. Challenging us toward the next faith adventure. Whispering to us in the pain of our darkest hours, “I’m still here. Right here beside you. I’m never leaving you.”

“Heaven is more than a destination. It’s a destiny. More than a place, it’s a Person. And what kind of Person would prepare something like this for you? A God who is great. A God who can be trusted. A God who is worthy. A God who loves you way more than you deserve. God. Loves. You.”

“The desire to compete and win is part of what motivates great athletes to play their best. But the negative thought (fear) of losing also drives them to pursue victory. The same is true concerning the bema. Paul saw himself as a competitor, determined to win. How awesome then must our God be that when we see Him, we will either desperately wish or jubilantly celebrate that our life had been devoted to Him?”

“This tells us our redemption is older than creation itself, and that God’s loving heart and will to save us traces to eternity past.54 That’s how long God has loved you.”

“In heaven, we will see Him, know Him, be with Him, serve Him, and reign with Him!”

“Ever wonder why Christians are often lethargic in worship? Why our allegiance is weak and our obedience sporadic? It’s because we know little of God’s power working through the church. Imagine how our faith and worship would explode if we witnessed more of God’s life-changing work in the lives of His people. Again, the spiritual principle here is “the greater the awe, the greater the worship.”

“God is not an object to be viewed but a Person to be experienced.”

“In a highly mobile world such as ours, travel is one of those luxurious necessities we often take for granted. We instantly communicate, whether by voice, text, or video chat, with someone from across the world. This is a reality those in my generation have always known. But we also take for granted other things as well—like our health. Or that the sun will faithfully show up every morning, and that the constant and calm sky above will always be there to greet us. Sadly, these expected things are not guaranteed, are they? And when one is deprived of said comforts, we feel a tangible and personal loss. Even more so, when such things are taken from us on a global scale, the mass of humanity, and even the earth itself, groans and suffers.”

“Heaven is more than a destination. It’s a destiny. More than a place, it’s a Person. And what kind of Person would prepare something like this for you? A God who is great. A God who can be trusted. A God who is worthy. A God who loves you way more than you deserve. God. Loves. You. His love doesn’t cease after salvation and it doesn’t diminish when you get to heaven. In fact, your experience of God’s love will exponentially increase there. It’s as if He’s saying, “All this for you, My bride.” Don’t you want to go there?”

“we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.”

“Satan does not know the exact time of Christ’s return or when the restrainer will be removed, so he must have a potential candidate for the Antichrist ready in every generation.”

“The Rapture goes way beyond the sensationalism of an apocalyptic movie. And it was never intended to be a salvation scare tactic. Instead, it’s a romance. An ancient promise fulfilled. A moment in time when the bride of the ages finally beholds her bridegroom. It’s when Christians realize how imperfect their vision of Jesus has been. They realize how little they thought of Him and how weak their worship of Him was. He is more majestic than the preacher had described. More powerful than He had been portrayed in books. More beautiful than they had imagined.”
