Great Quote
I shared with my discipleship group the following quote tonight (in the context of discussing Romans 8:28 — And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.):
What would our lives look like, if we feared nothing but God? What difference would it make if we no longer feared truth, the cost of discipleship, repentance, change, the future? What difference would it make if we fixed our desires not on popularity and money and predictability and control but on being conformed to the image of God’s Son? What do fearless people look like…Fearless people are influential people. They stand out. They are convincing. Deep down in your heart, wouldn’t you love to be unleashed to live boldly for the Lord? Wouldn’t you love to be intimidated no longer, but upright and courageous for God? Wouldn’t it be satisfying to live right out loud?
