21 " Audacity is not an activity. Audacity is an approach. "
― Steven Furtick , Sun Stand Still: What Happens When You Dare to Ask God for the Impossible
22 " God is able to stir up your spirit, pour out his presence, and reveal his glory in your family, business or community. "
23 " Extraordinary moves of God begin with ordinary acts of obedience. "
24 " There's no such thing as a part-time Christian, and there's no such thing as part-time ministry. "
25 " When you give all you've got for the cause of the One who gave it all to you in the first place, the effects of your investment will literally reach the heavens. "
26 " The goal of faith isn't to take away your fears but to leverage those fears to create bolder belief. Faith leads you past your fears and reassures you of God's presence. And after a while, you begin to trust that God is going to lift you above the weaves this time just like he did last time. "
27 " Usually, a Page 23 vision will begin when you see God dropping hints, not when you see him shooting stars in your direction. And your vision will probably flow from something you're already doing-relationships you've already established, priorities you're already passionate about.The kind of vision that makes you bold enough to ask God for the impossible can come from many sources. It can materialize in a million ways. And it will mature over time, not in the blink of an eye. "
28 " Our purpose statement is: So that people far from God will be filled with life in Christ. "
29 " If the dream in your heart isn't biblically based, focused on Jesus, affirmed by the key people in your life, and tethered to your passions, gifts, and life experiences, chances are, you're way off prompt. "
30 " Don't you dare let the magnitude of your fears send you back to dry land. "
31 " The goal of faith isn't to take away your fears but to leverage those fears to create bolder belief. "
32 " Audacity isn't the absence of uncertainty and ambiguity. Audacity is believing that God's promise is bigger than my perhaps. "
33 " The only people who are completely sure they've heard from God are either clinically insane or under the influence of hallucinogens. "
34 " Seizing God’s vision means deciding that you will not spend another day surviving your work environment, family dynamic, or dysfunctional situation. Instead, you will bring about substantial change for the glory of God. "
35 " But no matter who pays your salary, you’re a full-time employee of the kingdom of God. "
36 " No act of service is insignificant when done for the most significant purpose in the universe: proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. "
37 " There are certain phrases I’d like to see permanently banned from our Christian vocabulary. The one that sets me off the most is full-time ministry. I know what it’s supposed to mean, but I vehemently disagree with its implications. To say that someone is called to full-time ministry suggests that others are permitted to do part-time ministry. But Jesus didn’t die on a part-time cross. He doesn’t love us with a part-time love. He doesn’t cover us with a part-time pardon for sins. There’s no such thing as a part-time Christian, and there’s no such thing as part-time ministry. "
