“The people to whom we minister and speak will not recall 99 percent of what we say to them, but they will never forget the kind of persons we are.”

It’s very difficult to be right about something without hurting someone with it.

Everyone gets a spiritual formation. It’s like education. Everyone gets an education; it’s just a matter of which one you get.

Find a person who has embraced anger, and you will find a person with a wounded ego.

We cannot handle injustice by finding more ways to impose what is in fact “right” on people. It has to come from the inside. And that’s where the church should be working.

The transformation of the social world is at its heart the transformation of personal relations. That’s the key to transforming society in the larger arena.

As we reach out to God, we get another source of strength.

If we are to use our minds rightly, we must live in an attitude of constant openness and learning.

The different parts of the automobile like the ignition switch, the various buttons, the steering wheel – the interfaces between the driver and the machine – is our spirit or heart.

Kingdom obedience is kingdom abundance.

We are built to live in the kingdom of God. It is our natural habitat.

It is the responsibility of every Christ-centred follower to carve out a satisfying life under the loving rule of God or else sin will start to look good.

It’s just stunning to watch churches struggle to get mission statements when there it is, the Great Commission, and they should simply do what it says.

Obedience to Christ is the easy way, take my yoke.

We live in a culture that has, for centuries now, cultivated the idea that the skeptical person is always smarter than one who believes. You can almost be as stupid as a cabbage as long as you doubt.

Skepticism can keep us from blessing, can keep us trapped in two minds.

Life cannot be captured in a few axioms. And that is just what I keep trying to do. But it won’t work, for life is full of endless nuances and cannot be captured in just a few formulae.

No one cares / who is better / who is worse / who has more / who has less.

I had a moment a few years ago where I wasn’t sure if I was acting for myself or because people expected it of me.

Hours are golden links, God’s token Reaching heaven; but one by one Take them

Please believe that one single positive dream is more important than a thousand negative realities.
