What pastors are saying
“The Bible recognizes no faith that does not lead to obedience, nor does it recognize any obedience that does not spring from faith.”
“God doesn't want offerings more than our obedience. God wants us. God wants us to listen. God wants to be in a relationship with us.”
“We cannot ask for the blessings of God without walking in obedience. But if we walk in obedience, God will blow us away with how He blesses us.”
“Church, our assignment is to trust God with what He speaks to us. God is responsible for the miracle. We are responsible for obedience.”
“Obedience is just: okay, I'll do it. Because there's a level of trust there between children and parents, and that relationship should be one of obedience.”
