"I'm just telling you, God permits things in our lives sometimes for reasons that we do not understan..." — Joyce Meyer

There are a lot of 'chicken Christians.' Chickens are generally afraid of life, and they seldom fly or reach their potential in life. And when a storm comes, all they seem to do is flap around the chicken yard, stirring up dirt and running to the chicken house.

God doesn't do things halfway. He goes all out! When God does something, it's not just barely enough, mediocre or lukewarm.

The Bible tells us to be perfect. This is likely a scary thought for many people. It used to scare me. I didn't think I could ever get there, no matter how hard I tried.
