To Live in a Word-Shaped World
The notion of sacred space and secular space is an absurdity to the Bible. No place is too sacred and no place too profane to warrant the witness of the Word of God.

The Word of God is perfect, trustworthy, right, radiant, pure, and firm. It refreshes, makes wise, grants joy, gives light, endures forever and brings righteousness.
God has revealed his thoughts and ways, his mind and heart, his intentions, purposes and will to us through his revealed Word.
Our lives consist not in the big decisions and banner events dotting our calendars but in the little things we consistently do day after day after day.
Sabbath rest is not functional or utilitarian rest. It is not resting from work, nor is it resting up for work. It is resting with and unto God.
Far from mere rules and regulations, the Ten Commandments are the very wisdom of God.
We need people who are close enough to us and know us sufficiently well to feel the freedom and permission to say, “What you are doing is not good.”
Great Awakening depends on real, deep, and sustained movement at the level of our local churches.
Hardship in the wilderness will do one of two things in our lives: it will infuse character into our souls or wear callouses onto them; holiness or hardness.
The deepest, most profound and otherwise unquenchable thirst of every single person on planet earth is for the Holy Spirit.
We will know we are in a great awakening when our gatherings around the Lord’s Table become alive with the power of the Spirit.
The Kingdom of God is a very different place than the kingdom of the world and the wilderness is the place where it all gets sorted out—the wheat from the chaff.
