“Grace means we don’t need to airbrush our lives to make them look like they’re working.”

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.

Love like there’s no tomorrow; live like there’s no yesterday. We’re forgiven; now go love people like we believe it

When you love people like Jesus, you get messy. But messy looks good on you!

The battle for our hearts is fought on the pages of our calendar.

Selfless love is always costly; fear can’t afford it, pride doesn’t understand it and friends never forget it.

The way we love people we disagree with is the best evidence of what we really believe.

Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you’re an owner. Faith is at its best when it’s that way too. It’s best lived when it’s owned.

I used to be afraid of failing at something that really mattered to me, but now I’m more afraid of succeeding at things that don’t matter.

You can quit anything on a Thursday.

Exit gracefully. Heal and grow. Don’t look back.

Few souls understand what God would effect in them if they should give themselves entirely into his hands and allow his grace to act.

When you’re trying to achieve a goal, negative people will just bring you down. Surround yourself with the positive.

As you step every day and we’re going to see challenges, we going to see failures, we should certainly learn from the failures and be gracious with our successes too as well.

Physical exercise makes you more graceful. After some gymnasitics you walk as if the whole street is yours.

Prayer is the deliberate and persevering action of the soul. It is true and enduring, and full of grace. Prayer fastens the soul to God and makes it one with God’s will.

Seasons change and that’s okay, there will always be light, hope and grace.

We may be excused for not always being bright, but we are not excused for not being gracious, yielding and considerate.
