" Because you are special* to me, and I love you, I gladly give up other peoples in exchange for you; They are trivial by comparison to your weighty significance. " _Isaiah 43:4* (The Voice)

{ A Scandal called Grace - Carl Lentz }



  • If you do not understand brokenness, you cannot understand that Jesus can make you whole
  • We are not about church here, we are about Jesus
  • Real churches points people to Jesus, that is the purpose
  • Church can't change you, Jesus can
  • Religion cannot turn a life into a beautiful thing, Jesus can
  • God bankrupt heaven so we have access to true life
  • The gates of hell will never prevail on a church that is build on a cornerstone that is Jesus Christ
  • The Creator of the universe is for us, and nobody can stand against 
  • We can give Him the praise ahead of time for the battles we have yet to see won, but we are surrounding today, knowing He has already won the war that matters, and rescued us from death
  • Denominations only get you so far
  • "Wherever the name of Jesus is lifted up, and that is people around that, there is where I wanna be..."
  • "I got done doing church a long time ago..."
  • Church can only get you so far - Going to church does not make you a Christian
  • Getting around the presence of God can turn an ordinary church into a supernatural atmosphere
  • God can take a moment in time, and breath on it, and you will never be the same
