“Now, why do people gasp and take deep breaths when they stand at the ocean? What they are experiencing at that moment, whether they know it or not- is that they are in God’s playground. And for the Christian, that is amplified a hundred fold. Why? Because you actually know the creator.”

“Full bars requires stillness and it requires quiet. You can’t have a strong connection with God unless you can stop and deal with busy and hurry. You can’t have a strong connection with God if you can’t be silent.”

“If there is an inability in your life to be silent, in order to connect, in order to listen, in order to hear, and in order to receive. If there is an inability to be silent, that, my friend, is unhealthy.”

“Here’s the point if you can’t stop, men. If you can’t be still, by your actions the message is, ‘I’m God’. Because you’re just being self-sufficient versus God-dependent. No time to stop and be still? Then there’s no need. No need for God? I’m God. Period.”

“If you find yourself saying, ‘I’m slammed’ all the time, you’re not so much stating a fact as you are a priority. You find yourself saying, ‘but this really important’. You find yourself saying, ‘Hey honey, I”m going to be home late again.’ See, you find yourself saying stuff that tells everybody else, God and people in your life, that ‘I’m filling the margins of my life with stuff.’ ”

“And if you’re going to the church of self. And you say no to God and yes to self-sufficiency, I can with certainty predict the disintegration your relationship with God and with people. Because there’s no such thing as a well connected self-centered man. It’s not possible.”

“You know what the big problem is with men, broken male culture worldwide? They’re insecure and afraid. And when men are insecure and afraid and they’re not filled up and secure in a relationship with God they get their security from things that harm people. You know that’s what we need more than anything in society with men? They need to be secure, forgiven, accepted.”

“God wants to meet with you often. That place of encounter, wherever you choose to make it. It could be at your desk at work before everybody arrives. It could be in your car. But you know, the heart of God does not change. The Bible says that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And guess what? He misses His time with you.”

“This time on Earth, you live in a hot battle zone. You’ve been deposited by God’s air calvary into the families, into the areas, and into the regions to fight. You have been dropped into a war. And God is saying, ‘Wake up! Detonate!’ ”

“Am I spreading the knowledge of Christ through how I calibrate my heart, which then calibrates my character, which then directs my conduct, which leads to choices, which leads to consequences. The main consequence that is to be exploding out of your life is that you are to bring a knowledge of Him to a world that needs him.”

“So guys, if we’re a box of dynamite, what is the C4 that is going to explode out of you? Is it the self-driven life? Is it self-sufficiency? Is it me? What is it? The Bible says, exchange that for the Spirit of God and put off that old guy. It’s not somebody you wink and shake hands with. No. We boot him.”

“Guys, the secret to creating a new blast zone is this- you must marinate your mind in this book. So my question to you is, what is the predominate ingredient in you mental marinade that informs and flavors the way you think?”

“The question is not, ‘Do I have a blast zone of influence?’ The question is, ‘What kind of blast zone do I have?’ And to do that, requires a man. Because only a man has the courage to be honest enough to ask himself the hard questions about his impact and his influence.”

“You can live the faith driven life or you can live the fear or feeling driven life. That’s the self driven life. That’s the life of self preservation. Because you’re living in response to the things that you fear and your insecurities versus out of a life of faith. That’s what a man does. He lives for righteousness, he lives for godliness, he lives out of his faith. Not of his fear or his feeling...

“You will be faced with your turning hours. Those times when you get the opportunity to face up to real responsibility, and real relationships that call you out. And that turning hour defines large spans of your life and large spans of your legacy. It’s what you will be remembered for at your funeral.”

“You know how I know you’ve been with Jesus? His intentions about God and people are matched with a spine. You can’t be with Jesus and hang with him and see his courage and not man up. Because we have the person of Christ living within us, the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling us and empowering us, and the purposes of God to drive us.”

“When you have the middle ground to go to, it creates vacillation or fluctuating spiritual commitment. It creates trepidation letting apprehension and panic rule your emotions about your mission. You see, that’s what the middle ground does.”

“Manning up, do you know what it looks like? It’s where you stand up to the fears of men. It’s where you face up to your responsibilities to God, it’s where you give up living for yourself and living for God, it’s when you take up a purpose that is higher than yourself- the cause of your King. Amen? Then you become a leader and a man of influence. You see, that’s what manning up is. It’s just bein...

“Well, but first let me accumulate enough money. Well, but first let me feel better about my bible knowledge and myself then I’ll be obedient and talk to that guy about the Lord. First let me- and fill in the blank. Your flesh and the devil are bombarding you with rationalizations and justifications for delaying obedience in the moment.”
