“You can quit anything on a Thursday.”

No one leads people to Jesus; He leads people to Himself. All the pressure’s off; just go love everybody without agenda.

That’s all the information I need to know about the church, Jesus picked it. And so instead of me telling the church how she would really look better if she had this in her hair, or that over there, I think I’m just respecting the Groom’s pick.

Love God, love your neighbors, and do stuff!

We can’t always see people’s pain; they can always feel our love.

Fear will give us a reason not to try; hope will give us a reason not to listen.

See people for who they’re becoming. Not who they were.

Do what lasts, get around to everything else.

When you are in high school, you don’t give much thought to what you can’t do. For most people, that gets learned later, and for still fewer, gets unlearned for the rest of life.

I’m all for getting together with men and women in small groups around Scripture and letting it just wash over us, but for me, I’ve been meeting with the same ten guys for like 15 years now, but we don’t have a Bible study every Friday, we have a Bible doing.

We can be the light of the world without leaving our high beams on and annoying everybody.

The teachers I’ve learned the most from, didn’t think they were teaching me; they just thought we were friends.

Every time we see people as ordinary, we turn the wine back into water.

Living a life fully engaged in full of whimsy and the kind of things that love does is something most people plan to do, but along the way they just kind of forget.

God’s grace comes in all shapes, sizes, and circumstances as God continues to unfold something magnificent in me.

God wants us to kick it down. Or perhaps just sit outside of it long enough until somebody tells us we can come in.

God finds us in the holes we dig for ourselves. We see failures; He sees foundations.

One reason I quit doing interviews after years and years and years was because I was making things up.

Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food, Nothing to wear out but clothes, To keep one from going nude.

If you can quit for a day, you can quit for a lifetime.

I’m never gonna quit, cause quitting’ just ain’t my schtick.

I have absolutely no desire and no thought of quitting ever.

Work harder than everybody. You’re not going to get it by whining, and you’re not going to get it by shouting, and you’re not going to get it by quitting. You’re going to get it by being there.

If God is about putting God ahead of myself then I’ve just quit being religious, because that’s what got me into such deep trouble.

I won’t quit to become someone’s old lady.
