“It is one thing to be awakened to injustice and quite another to be willing to be inconvenienced and interrupted to do something about it.”

“How easy it is to let the depth of the ditch or the severity of the brokenness stop a good work before we even stoop down to do it.”
Christine Caine, Undaunted: Daring to do what God calls you to do

C.S. Lewis
“You cannot make men good by law: and without good men you cannot have a good society. That is why we must go on to think of the second thing: of morality inside the individual.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“worship is multiform, not uniform. God is not threatened by this reality—he ordained it; he expects it; he glories in it.”
Paul Basden, Exploring the Worship Spectrum: 6 Views

“Rather than allowing the safety and familiarity of forms to permit our hearts to disengage, or allowing a hip beat or guitar rift to generate superficial emotion, it is imperative that our walk with God remain real, that our dialogue with his Spirit be moment to moment, that our communication of his truth be accurate, engaging, and authentic.”
