If you allow your enemy to steal your faith, he can destroy your life and ultimately kill your relationship with God.Craig Groeschel

When it's clear that we have a commitment to God that comes before anything else in our lives, most people will respect us even if they don't share our faith.Craig Groeschel

Normal people attempt countless goals with limited success. Weird people focus on just one God-given objective with tremendous results.Craig Groeschel
4
The fear of God is the only cure for the fear of people.Craig Groeschel

Better a little with God than a whole lot without Him. Better to have fewer houses, cars, appliances, clothes, toys, and bills than to have the whole world and lose your soul. Better something paid for that's used and enjoyed and shared and worn out than something nice and shiny and new that won't be paid for until 2019 and that you're too stressed to enjoy. Better a little with the fear of the Lord than more of what everyone else has. Better than normal, instead of normal is best.Craig Groeschel

If we don't fear God, it's because we don't know God.Craig Groeschel

He desperately wants you to know Him. So many people believe in God, but they don't really know Him. And because they don't really know Him, they are lukewarm. The truth is, if you truly knew Him, you couldn't be lukewarm or halfhearted. If you remain lukewarm, maybe it's because you don't know who God really is.Craig Groeschel

Many people may be heartbroken, but not enough to take action.Craig Groeschel

Sex joins two people spiritually and emotionally as well as physically. This is its purpose-to bond a couple together. Sex connects and fuses people together.Craig Groeschel
10
Wise people put as much distance between themselves and sexual temptation as possible. They not only get away but also plan their escape route.Craig Groeschel

Weird people love well.Craig Groeschel

Young people today are deeply passionate and crave authentic life based on truth. They're hungry to make a difference. They're willing to take a stand for whatever they believe, even to die for a cause. When they sell out to Jesus, they'll pursue a standard of righteousness that is greater than anything you and I ever saw growing up. Don't water it down. Don't lower the standard. And don't just settle for raising it-raise it higher. Believe in your children. Talk with them. Speak well of them. Encourage them. Pray for them. Celebrate the victories with them. Affirm their growth. We can raise a generation that, although they'll make mistakes, will sell out completely when Jesus grips them. They'll give Him everything. They'll make you proud by being even weirder than you are.Craig Groeschel

In order to honor God with your wealth, you first have to admit that you are rich. Most people won't do that. It's not normal.Craig Groeschel
14
Extreme measures bring extreme results. If you want a normal life, do what normal people do. If you want to know God intimately, walk with Him daily, and please Him in every way, you're going to have to do what few do. Absolutely nothing.Craig Groeschel
15
Normal people live distracted, rarely fully present. Weird people silence the distractions and remain fully in the moment.Craig Groeschel

Face your fears by remembering the power of God's cleaning truth. To change the way you are, change the way you think.Craig Groeschel
17
Rather than continuing on the normal sexual path toward pain, emptiness, and idolatry, you can allow God to heal you, change the way you think, and place deliberate safeguards in your life to protect you.Craig Groeschel
18
But just as your body needs sleep, your soul needs time to rest in God. To learn more about Him. To talk to Him. To worship and praise Him. To fellowship with other brothers and sisters.Craig Groeschel
19
To get rid of a spiritual problem, we need to pull it up by its spiritual root. To pull up roots, we're going to have to be willing to get our hands dirty, to make some sacrifices that provides long-term benefits instead of short-term, refinanced gains. God is willing to help us, to provide the tools we need to weed out those areas where our desire for money is spoiling our fruit of the Spirit.Craig Groeschel

If you catch yourself wondering why you want more of the world and you're not satisfied with God, it's because you have a spiritual problem.Craig Groeschel
