Yes, it's possible to have peace with God, with self, and with others, when we understand, embrace, and put on display the truth, the unconditional love, and the grace of God.

The Bible says a lot about the life change we experience when we come to know Jesus. Is that real? Is it actually possible to overcome our sinful behavior and become a different person? Yes! It's not fast or easy, but it's possible!

The pathway toward purity and cleansing isn't perfection. It's confession! To live with a pure heart and clean mind means that we are hiding nothing, and therefore that we have nothing to hide. When we come clean with God, he cleanses us from the inside out!

We are control freaks! We try to control others, our circumstances, and our own will power. We're afraid that if we let go of control, we'll lose what we have. And that's true. The only way to have the healing God wants to give us is to let him have the controls of our lives.

Because of our brokenness and our sin, we wind up believing lies about who we are, who God is, and what life is all about. We need to embrace the biblical truth about God's identity and our identity as God intended it.

We're all broken, and we stay broken because we learn to fake it and play God. The first step on the pathway to healing is when we get real, admit our spiritual brokenness, and acknowledge our need for God to heal us.

We all experience brokenness and we all have hurts, habits, and hangups that result from our brokenness. While we can wish this weren’t the case and try our best to cover it all up, all we really need to do is come to the God who heals our brokenness by faith.

When you follow Jesus with absolute abandon and believe the very best about God, demonstrating your faith with radical obedience and massive action, God comes through in ways that make other people wonder what's so different about you.

We're severely limited by limiting beliefs. The fact is, success (the way God defines it) is a good thing, and therefore, it's a good thing to desire it with a white hot passion. God gives us dreams of a Promised Land and a framework of truth to guide us into possession of it. It all starts with letting God get into your head and have the throne.

Some decisions are so radical that there is simply no going back. If you want to enjoy God's massive blessing, you must take massive, no-going-back action. Just as Joshua (and Caleb) chose to break with the rest of the spies even if it meant standing alone, you must decide to be true, stand out, and to risk it all!
