It changes your reason for being, it changes your sense of purpose, it changes the way you live, it changes the reason for our gifts and talents, it changes our families and our marriages. Ultimately salvation that starts in the heart has an impact on generations to come. What is it that is in your heart?

Brian Houston

Jesus pioneers internally and outworks externally. The Bible describes him as the pioneer of our salvation, the pioneer of our faith. And I would describe him as the pioneer of our hearts. Salvation is something that Christ does in our heart that changes our eternal destiny.

If you want to love the way Jesus loved, if you want your life to be characterized by love in a way that reflects the heart of God to everyone you meet, then I recommend paying attention to how you respond to people who make you uncomfortable.

Follow your heart, stay true to the gift that is on your life, go forth in the strength that you have, be comfortable in your grace zone, be confident in your call - and watch as God exceeds your every expectation and leads you into a wide-open and spacious life.

When something is over, don't stop. The end of an era is not the completion of a destiny.

There are times in life when you just have to commit to your mountain.

The Christian message is a message of transformation, and we are all sinners saved by grace. Yes—God wants us to change, and God helps us to change.

We simply need to focus on drawing near to God and his purpose for our lives. This is how we can best resist the devil. When he sees us drawing closer and closer to God, when he watches as our faith muscles grow bigger and stronger, he's forced to accept defeat.

Sometimes I think we spend a lot of time fleeing from the devil, when we really need to stand our ground. The Bible doesn't teach us to flee from the devil; it teaches us to draw near to God, to resist the devil, so he will flee from you. We don't need to worry about running away from the devil and trying to hide from him.

That's because sympathy identifies with the problem, but compassion gets up, looks up, and says, I need to do something about this.

Remember, sin is something you do, guilt is something you feel, and shame is something you carry.

There is a beautiful satisfaction that comes from knowing that we are doing exactly what God made us to do and are being obedient to his calling on our lives. It is as we discover our strengths, and grow comfortable in the grace we have been given, that we will begin to see the promises of God for our wide-open, spacious future begin to take shape.

Whether you are graced with the gift of leadership, the gift of athletics, or the gift of creativity, we are called to be good stewards and faithful servants of what is in our hand. No one is exempt, and if you didn't play your part we would be missing out on the unique grace and the individual strengths that you bring to the here and now.

Jesus kept his harshest words for the religious bullies he encountered and reached out to sinners and publicans, all with a measure of love and grace, in order that they might be saved.

You must also embrace the present and realize that you can't change the past. You must move forward with courage, not rushing things, but not staying fixated on whatever trauma has occurred.
