How we respond when we are mistreated or when we disagree is foundational to our spiritual life.  -Mike Bickle

“Moses is now a man who has not a wit of confidence that he can perform anything, let alone deliver an entire people out of bondage. The whole preliminary work of God is to disqualify us before we can be qualified.”

When all is said and done, it’s the meek who end up ruling the world.  

—Art Katz 

When studying doctrine, we should always examine Scripture as a whole lest we leave out something vital that is only partially addressed in a given passage. The Bible offers us checks and balances that we would not be aware of from individual books, chapters or paragraphs. -Randy Alcorn

In religion, you obey because God is useful. In Christianity, you obey because God is beautiful. -Timothy Keller

The return of the King and the establishment of His Kingdom is the primary focal point of the entire Bible. Peter said it was the ultimate focus of the prophets, calling it, “the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets.” Acts 3:21 This is also why the cry of the early believers was not simply “Hallelujah” (Praise the Lord), but also, “Maranatha!” (Come Lord Jesus!). Today the Church has largely forgotten the Maranatha cry... but the days ahead will be defined by the Church joining with the Holy Spirit, yay with all of creation, in reclaiming, recovering, and letting the Maranatha cry ring out from every hill and every mountaintop once again. -Joel Richardson

The same divine glory that would have been fatal to Moses on contact now comes into the hearts of those in Christ. -Tim Keller

God designed the human spirit for partnership with Himself because He had plans to share so much with us forever. -Mike Bickle

Moses as the great deliverer and legislature, Aaron as the priest, Joshua as faithful receiver, Gideon as the destroyer of their enemies, David as their king on Mount Zion, all foreshadowed HE who will fill all of their offices, without any of their weaknesses! Maranatha! -Joel Richardson

It is no coincidence that the return to Premillennialism in the 1800s accompanied a great surge in global and frontier missions. As it was in the apostolic period, so it was in the 1800s, and will be again in these last days. Eschatology absolutely matters. -Joel Richardson
