“The test of love is that it gives even when there is no expectation of a return.”

Going in faith does not necessarily mean going with serenity or without doubts. Faith can be difficult.

God is a God of endless opportunities to do good; the God of the open door.

If we are serious about loving God, we must begin with people, all people. And especially we must learn to love those that the world generally discards.

Waiting on the Lord is a confident, disciplined, expectant, active, sometimes painful clinging to God.

You can only love and be loved to the extent that you know and are known by somebody.

One reason why we fail to hear God speak is that we are not attentive. We suffer from what might be called ‘spiritual mindlessness.’

True love is willing to warn, reprove, confront or admonish when necessary.

Failure does not shape you; the way you respond to failure shapes you.

Real question is not who was this man (Jesus), but who is this man?

The good news as Jesus preached it is not just about the minimal entrance requirements for getting into heaven when you die. It is about the glorious redemption of human life-your life.

The character of the faith that allows us to be transformed by suffering and darkness is not doubt-free certainty; rather, it is tenacious obedience.

The decision to grow always involves a choice between risk and comfort. This means that to be a follower of Jesus, you must renounce comfort as the ultimate value of your life.

I shouldn’t dabble in television, web content, or even comic books…

How many evils has religion caused! [Lat., Tantum religio potuit suadere malorum!]

Drink, live like the Greeks, eat, gorge.

To ask for power is forcing uphill a stone which after all rolls back again from the summit and seeks in headlong haste the levels of the plain.

Let us realize that along with food, shelter, and clothing

I want to touch people’s lives, and bring them along with me.

Constant dripping hollows out a stone.
