“We live in a time when Christians need to be told that they are supposed to live like Christ. That’s Weird.”

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.

I don’t have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.

I believe He wants us to love others so much that we go to extremes to help them.

The life ahead can only be glorious if you learn to live in total harmony with the Lord.

The purpose of our lives is to find the purpose of our lives.

Weaknesses and deficiencies play a most important part in all our lives. It is because of them that we need others and others need us. We are not all weak in the same spots, and so we supplement and complete one another, each one making up in himself for the lack in another.
