“Pure praise has always been a weapon of mass destruction to the kingdom of darkness. This is why Satan, the sworn enemy of God, hates the song of the redeemed and the praises of the Lamb more than any other sound on earth. Because he is a killer, a stealer, and a destroyer, he has been hell-bent on destroying the worship movement long before it ever had a chance at maturity. He was aware of its great, destructive power to his realm of darkness long before we were. We just thought we were singing simple love songs to Jesus and were almost oblivious to the fact we were simultaneously destroying the gates of hell.”

“Too much concern with safety and security, combined with comfort and convenience, has lulled us out of our true calling and purpose. We all love an adventure. Or do we?”

“The problem is that these are earthly-focused models of leadership. Without the flow of grace from the apostles and prophets, who are not only focused on seeing what is going on in Heaven but also on releasing that reality here on earth, these models will inevitably lead us to focus on what we know God has done in the past and miss out on what He is doing now. They lead us to care more about knowledge than experience.”

“if we fall in love with our system, whatever that is, we lose the capacity to change it.”
