#PerfectPlan
“but see, if you don't know that about God, then you won't ask. And you'll always take second best. And you kinda say, well, you know, I don't deserve god's best. Well, I'll just settle for less in this relationship. I know you... You're expecting holiness, but, you know, I've already messed up this time, so I'll just settle for less in holiness in my taxes or in my relationship with my boyfriend or girlfriend or or whatever it may be. You see, if you don't believe this about God, that he will give you his best, if you leave the choice with him, then trust me, you'll take second best, and it'll be a catastrophe.”

#BattleAgainstSin
“You see, the problem with us as people is that we can become really accustomed to second best or third best or marginal, even defeated. And there's a lot of Christians, unfortunately, who live defeated lives. It reminds me of the children of Israel. were blood bought. They came out of Egypt. They saw god miraculously set them free. They saw the Red Sea split open. They saw Pharaoh's army that had enslaved them for four hundred and thirty years be decimated. They saw manna. They saw quails. They saw miracle after miracle, water from the rock, a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night. And after all... Seeing seeing all of that, they get to Kadesh Barnea in numbers 14, and they didn't believe that the same god who did all of those things could defeat a couple of giants for them. And so they wandered, wondering.”

#ChooseGodsBest
“And now Satan is implying, what's wrong? If you are the son of God, why are you hungering now? Why isn't he taking care of you? And maybe you've heard that recently. Why are you struggling like you are? Oh, if that really took place in that baptism, then wouldn't God be coming through for you with this situation, or wouldn't God be saving your marriage or this relationship with your kids? If you are a son of God, maybe you've heard that in your ears. Well, Jesus did, and he replies with the word of God.”

#OpenAccessToGod
“It was based upon the relationship. And, you know, the same thing goes for you and I. You need to know this, that positionally, if you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ, he looks at you and says, I'm pleased with you. I'm pleased with you. There's nothing to add to completeness of the cross. When Jesus said it is finished, that means there was nothing else to add to that. saved. Done deal. But now we're in this work of sanctification where he's working out his will and making unholy people holy. And sometimes we still do unholy things, but positionally, god is proud of you. You've already taken the greatest leap of faith that is to put your life and faith in the hands of Jesus Christ. Amen? Amen.”
43s
#StandOnTheWord
“I'm just convinced that at this point with where our world is going and the temptations that we face every day, that if you haven't or are not cultivating a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in your personal life, you're just gonna struggle. I'm not putting a trip on anybody. if you don't know his word, how are you gonna know who he is? If you don't take time with him day by day and hear him whisper to your heart, I love you or I forgive you. You're more... Much more prone to take the next best thing, which won't prove to be good at all.”

#ResistCompromise
“When the temple was still standing there, the law determined how close you could come. If you were a woman, you could come so far. If you were a gentile, you could come this far. If you were a priest or a Levite, you could go even further. If you were the high priest, you could go all the way in. But when Jesus died and the veil was ripped open, it was open season. Now anybody, everybody, everybody can come, but do we? You see, we have the word of God in our hands, but do we pick it up? Do we seek it like silver, like riches? Do we study God's word?”

#GodsPerfectWill
“You see, Jesus isn't alone in that. Remember Abraham, he was given a promise. In fact, he believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness. He is the father of faith for us, for you and us who believe. But he gave in under pressure, and he had a child with Hagar. And Ishmael and Isaac had been fighting ever since. It was catastrophic, that decision, That slight deviation out of God's best for him.”
46s
#GraceRestores
“Only our god can pick up the pieces of our lives, broken decisions and relationships and things that we've messed up maybe or things that have happened to us. And only by his grace can he put those things together and make something, in fact, beautiful from them. Amen? That's our God. oftentimes, we fail to realize that he does have a best. And if I don't believe that God has a perfect plan for my life or for my kids or my family or even this community or our country, then I will experience the Garden of Eden tragedy constantly in my life.”
38s
#GodsBest
“Satan is always offering the next best thing. What he fails to tell you is that next best thing could be catastrophe in your marriage. It will be catastrophe in your marriage to go after the next best thing. It will be catastrophe if you take things in your own hands of parenting. It will be a catastrophe to take the next best thing than what God is offering as his perfect will. But listen carefully. God does give his best to those who leave the choice with him.”

#AskBig
“there had been a particularly challenging week in parenting, and and that same week, there appeared on our refrigerator, a birthday list. And me and my wife, Robin, we looked at it with, like, the audacity of that kid. He's asking after this week. And the thing that caught me though, the Lord goes, he understands grace. That's exactly what it is. You'll know you understand grace when you, even after failure, ask big.”
