“Grace is a person. And his name is Jesus.”

A moment with Jesus changed everything.

A father doesn’t say, ‘Don’t go that way.’ He says, ‘come follow me.’

Be the same person privately, publically and personally.

Jesus sees our sin more clearly than anyone, yet He loves us more than anyone.

Jesus didn’t care about the scandal. He cared about the scandalous.

Notorious sinners didn’t kill Jesus. Religious people did.

I wonder if we have a lot of sons running around saying, “I want a Dad.” But you won’t abide in anyone.

Don’t you know you are the only Jesus many people will ever see? In compromising your lifestyle, you forfeit your capacity to accurately reflect God’s image and endanger an entire generation’s understanding of Jesus.

God is not in a hurry to fix us. Our behavior is not his first priority. We are his first priority. Loving us, knowing us, affirming us, protecting us. That is his top goal and his main concern.

Sometimes God takes your life for some crazy twists and turns.

What we do on Sunday absolutely doesn’t matter unless it meets us on Monday. Changes us on Monday. Transforms us on Monday.

Rules are not bad, but they can’t save anyone.

We need to abandon our scale and adopt God’s because our misguided labels keep us from the right kind of interaction with people.

The Bible is meant to be down-to-earth. It was written for real people facing real issues.

If we could get people to think about Jesus, we reasoned, Jesus was more than able to reveal himself to them.

Indifference was our greatest enemy.

When you feel your life’s too hard, just go have a talk with God. Well, he’s the only free psychiatrist that’s known throughout the world.

Every substance is as a world apart, independent of everything else except God.

We never have a full demonstration, although there is always an underlying reason for the truth, even if it is only perfectly understood by God, who alone penetrated the infinite series in one stroke of the mind.

When feelings of inadequacy come creeping in, let’s park our minds in God’s truth.

God is for men, and religion for women.

God is good to me, even when life doesn’t feel good to me.

My heart is still there in gospel music. It never left . . . I’m gonna make a gospel record and tell Jesus I cannot bear these burdens alone.

Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!
