What People Really Need

“People don’t ignore your words or stay home or show up late or fail to serve because they are weak or rude or busy or lazy. They don’t engage because their core tendency is to pull away from God, not toward Him. Beautiful design or compelling copy will not turn the heart away from loving itself first, which is precisely what the other messages of the world offer–what we’re competing against”–Tony Morgan.

“Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon”–Isaiah 55:6-7.

“It seems strange, but the most mature response we can have to God’s discipline is to act like a little child. They reach out for comfort from the parent who just disciplined them. The child desires reconciliation & relationship. The child instinctively knows that love remains in the heart of their father”–John Kincaid.

“Truly I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”–Matthew 18:3-4.

“True repentance will entirely change you, the bias of your souls will be changed . . . you will delight in God, in Christ . . . his law . . . his people”–George Whitefield.
