1 " The mission field is where we are, never where we go. "
― Kim Meeder , Encountering Our Wild God: Ways to Experience His Untamable Presence Every Day
2 " The motivation to share our faith does not rise from courage but love. "
3 " I have navigated so much of my life on autopilot, moving mechanically through the more routine parts of my day. Then, when the spiritual parts arrive—meetings, speaking, praying, writing, engagements—I ask that His Spirit fill, inhabit and lead me. That is certainly a good thing, but not His best thing. It was never God's intention for any of us to live our lives in the land of perpetually playing spiritual hokey-pokey. "
4 " The enemy loves my busyness because he knows what "busy" really means: "Being Under Satan's Yoke." It's not a glamorous distraction, but it's highly effective in removing me from the front lines of spiritual warfare. "
5 " When we dwell on God's provision, His promises, His presence, authentic joy is the natural overflow, which inspires us to praise and worship Him through our hardships. In so doing, we can experience His peace through any circumstance. "
6 " It is so easy to get entangled in all the "purpose" questions about life.… You want to know God's will for your life? Easy. You pray, you listen, you do…. This is the wild simplicity of our God. "
7 " [W]e can choose to praise Jesus through any darkness that might befall us. Doing so does not mean that our troubling circumstances will go away; it means that the prison of heaviness we feel because of them will. "
8 " Friend, the call on your life is simple. It amounts to three things—only three. Love God, love each other and share the hope of His redeeming love (see Mark 12:30-31; 16:15). "
9 " God created us to know Him and pursue a growing relationship with Him daily. Out of that relationship pours the overflow, the river of His love that joins us to Him and each other. "
10 " We all have a job to do—a commissioning fueled by the forces of heaven, a spiritual assignment that will be opposed at every step by the forces of hell. "
11 " We are alive today to love God, to advance the saving hope of Jesus and to fight for those in our midst who are losing their battle for hope. "
12 " Anxiety can only happen when our hope is genuinely in the wrong thing, not in Jesus. "
