Quotes from Tony Evans

The definition of unity is oneness of purpose, not sameness of being. Like a quilt with various colors and patterns that have been blended together into a harmonious whole, a church in unity celebrates each person's unique place in the divine design.

This is not a time for secret-agent Christians or covert Jesus operatives. We need kingdom men who will step up and change the world.

Learning to walk or live in the power of the Holy Spirit is the key to victory over sin and temptation. Paul

His realm, we will continue to live defeated lives in the face of walls too thick to crumble, and an enemy looming too large for us to overcome. One Game, Two Chapels, One God

Here is another indication, then, that divine election is to service and not eternal life.

The sovereign prerogative of God to choose individuals, families, groups, and nations to serve his kingdom purposes as he so wills. Election is specifically related to service, usefulness, and blessings—not individual salvation. Jesus died for all human beings without exception and desires for all to be saved (Rom 9:10-13; 1 Tim 2:4; 4:10; Heb 2:9; 2 Pet 3:8-11; 1 John 2:2).

Only when we allow the life-giving refreshment of living, flowing waters to move through us do we remove the toxins of the soul and heal the damage done within. When we drink, or abide, in a close relationship with Jesus, His stream of water produces life in us through the presence of the Holy Spirit.

We've not been instructed to pray, "My Father which art in heaven." It is, "Our Father which art in heaven" (Matthew 6:9 KJV). You will experience more of God by connecting with His purposes through His people than you could ever experience on your own.

In God's kingdom, we receive life by giving it away.

Men, you don't have to curse God openly to despise Him. All you need to do is tell Him that you don't think much of Him by giving Him your leftovers.

We need an objective standard that isn't tied to our emotions, thoughts, or desires.

Generational irresponsibility leads to lifetimes of oppression, addiction, and waste.
