Hold nothing back

'Now boldly I approach Your throne, to claim this crown through Christ my own.

And nothing's gonna hold me back.'


God wants all of us.

Not just the parts of our lives we feel we can spare. Not just our Sunday mornings.

If we are going to truly live out this life with God at the centre, we need to do so with purpose. We have to hand over every part of our being.

Open up every area of your life to be changed by Him.

Hold nothing back.

Let's approach our faith with a new boldness. Let's have a new confidence, not with who we are under our own strength, but with who we are through God alone.


'For it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." ' -1 Peter 1:16


I don't want to be a Christian marked by apathy. I want to be a Christian marked by fire, marked by passion.

God never tells us that it will be easy. But He does tell us that it will be worth it.

Are you in or out?

It's all about the heart

'Show me Your heart. Show me Your ways. Show me Your glory.'

It all starts with the heart of God.

In everything that we do, in all our songs and in all our worship, let's chase after His heart.

When we go after the heart of God, He becomes the centre of our faith. Not rules and not religion.

God wants us to know Him on a deep and intimate level. It is not enough for us to just acknowledge His existence. He wants us to move into a personal relationship with Him, one which will transform every aspect of our being in a supernatural way.

The heart of God is love. And not just a love that is lukewarm. This love is real and tangible. This is a love that burns. Once you have experienced this love you will never be the same again.

'Put me like a seal on your heart, like a seal on your arm. Love is as strong as death; jealousy is as strong as the grave.' -Song of Solomon 8:6

God has given us the opportunity to connect directly with Him. All we have to do is be open.

God, we are here, our hearts are ready to be more like Yours. Transform us. Change us. Who we are on our own is not enough. We want to know the real You.

Go after the heart of God and everything else will fall into place.
