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

One guy just kept asking me and asking me in an interview, and I kept saying, “I just got done telling you no, there’s nothing to report.”

If we pick recognition over influence we’ll be known for all the wrong stuff.

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

Faith is to believe what you do not yet see: the reward for this faith is to see what you believe. Thus all below is strength, and all above is grace.

The winds of grace blow all the time. All we need to do is set our sails.

The devil can counterfeit all the saving operations and graces of the Spirit of God.

Through selfless work, love of God grows in the heart. Then through his grace one realize him in course of time. God can be seen. One can talk to him as I am talking to you.

The breeze of grace is always blowing on you. You have to open the sails and your boat will move forward.

The winds of grace are always blowing, but you have to raise the sail.

Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections.

Youth, beauty, graceful action seldom fail: But common interest always will prevail; And pity never ceases to be shown To him who makes the people’s wrongs his own.
