“Men, you’ll never be a good groom to your wife unless you’re first a good bride to Jesus.”

The basic premise of religion– that if you live a good life, things will go well for you– is wrong. Jesus was the most morally upright person who ever lived, yet He had a life filled with the experience of poverty, rejection, injustice, and even torture.

As long as we think we are not that bad, the idea of grace will never change us.

Tolerance isn’t about not having beliefs. It’s about how your beliefs lead you to treat people who disagree with you.

Trust is accepting what God sends into your life whether you understand it or not.

When I forget the gospel I become dependent on the smiles and evaluation of others.

The world values power, comfort, success, and recognition. Jesus frees us to value grief, sacrifice, weakness, and exclusion.

No one is too bad for Jesus. A lot of people think they are too good for Jesus.

God invites us to come as we are, not stay as we are.

God relentlessly offers his grace to people who do not deserve it, or seek it, or even appreciate it after they have been saved by it.

The Bible says that our real problem is that every one of us is building our identity on something besides Jesus.

The Gospel is news of what God has done to reach us. It is not advice about what we must do to reach God.

Generosity is not only about money. There is more than one currency. Let your generosity be pervasive in life.

You don’t fall in love. You commit to it.

God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.

If you don’t feel like praying, pray to God to give you the desire.

If your god never disagrees with you, you might just be worshipping an idealized version of yourself.

The soul bride shall never be a widow, she shall never suffer sorrow.

When the bride is one with her lover, who cares about the wedding party?

The ignorant soul bride wanders in delusion, in the love of duality, she sits like a widow. She sits like a widow, in the love of duality, infatuated with Maya, she suffers in pain. She grows old, and her body withers away.

There is no greater feeling than when a groom turns to see his bride and has tears in his eyes because she is so beautiful.

From biscuit to brides, if there is anything their children really want, parents have a problem.

It’s hard to juggle being a businessperson with being a creative person. You have to organize yourself – PR needs me for PR, and the licensing division needs me for licensing, the bridal people need me for bridal.

Brides today are increasingly sensitive to the tastes, feelings and finances of their attendants.

Hollywood brides keep the bouquets and throw away the grooms.
