I'll let you in on a little secret: your heart is made for the kingdom of God. This might be the most important thing anyone will ever tell you about yourself: your heart only thrives in one habitat, and that safe place is called the kingdom of God.

Most people don't even try to learn the ways of the kingdom; they just go about their days with a practical agnosticism, hoping things work out, tossing up prayers like they hope to score on a Jesus lottery ticket.

First off, we must be confident that God wants to give us more of himself.

Jesus, I give my heart to your kingdom; I am made for your kingdom and nothing else will do.

Think of consecration as aligning and enforcing—aligning yourself with Jesus and all the laws of his kingdom, then enforcing his rule and those laws over the matter in question.

Then I ask for more of God: Jesus—I need more of you; fill me with more of you, God. Restore our union; fill me with your life.

When I went to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down Happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life.

A proper education enables young people to put their lives in order, which means knowing what things are more important than other things; it means putting first things first.

You will never experience the fullness of joy you were created to know until Jesus Christ has first place in every area.

We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.

Don't try and fit your faith into your busy schedule, build your schedule around your faith.

For many of us the great danger is not that we will renounce our faith. It is that we will become so distracted and rushed and preoccupied that we will settle for a mediocre version of it.
