We Must Be The Same

It Is Not What We Do That Matters, But What A Sovereign God Chooses To Do Through Us. God Doesn't Want Our Success; He Wants Us. He Doesn't Demand Our Achievements; He Demands Our Obedience. The Kingdom Of God Is A Kingdom Of Paradox, Where Through The Ugly Defeat Of A Cross, A Holy God Is Utterly Glorified. Victory Comes Through Defeat; Healing Through Brokenness; Finding Self Through Losing Self.

It's Part Of The Buzz Of The City Among Christians. It Wouldn't Surprise Me That It Got To George Bush. He Reads, He Picks Stuff Up, He Talks To People. And He's Pretty Serious About His Own Christian Beliefs.

You Are Called Not To Be Successful Or To Meet Any Of The Other Counterfeit Standards Of This World, But To Be Faithful And To Be Expended In The Cause Of Serving The Risen And Returning Christ.

We Humans, You See, Have An Infinite Capacity For Self-rationalization.

We Should Always Pray With As Much Earnestness As Those Who Expect Everything From God; We Should Always Act With As Much Energy As Those Who Expect Everything From Themselves.
