“He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a ‘Christian’ without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.”

The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.

Lukewarm people don’t really want to be saved from their sin; they want only to be saved from the penalty of their sin.

Making disciples isn’t about gathering pupils to listen to your teaching. The real focus is not on teaching people at all–the focus is on loving them.

Why would we need to experience the Comforter if our lives are already comfortable?

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

Jesus’ call to commitment is clear: He wants all or nothing.

God’s definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

Christians are like manure: spread them out and they help everything grow better, but keep them in one big pile and they stink horribly.

Something is wrong when our lives make sense to unbelievers.

A relationship with God simply cannot grow when money, sins, activities, favorite sports teams, addictions, or commitments are piled up on top of it.

Our life is like a block of ice which is melting away every moment. Before it spends itself, devote it to the service of others. Education in Human Values is designed to prepare everyone for this life of dedicated service.

For success in life you need yukti (skill) and shakti (strength), Bhakti (Devotion ) and Mukti (Freedom).

I know of nothing more despicable and pathetic than a man who devotes all the hours of the waking day to the making of money for money’s sake.

If someone ensures us two square meals a day, we will sing and pray all our waking hours. If one has to hoe sugarcane all day, devotion to God vanishes like smoke.

Offspring, friends and relatives flee from a devotee of the Lord: yet those who follow him bring merit to their families through their devotion.

When one is consumed by the sorrows of life, three things give him relief: offspring, a wife, and the company of the Lord’s devotees.
