“Indifference was our greatest enemy.”

Don’t allow the opinions of other people to shape your concept of him. Get to know him yourself, and let the goodness of God change you from the inside out.

Make rules and follow rules as needed, but don’t focus on riles. Focus on faith. Focus on grace. Focus on Jesus.

If you dont love, youve lost your distinction, definition, uniqueness, and identity.

It’s interesting how people try to redefine God to their liking. They bring him down to their level so they can understand him, then they reject him because he is too much like them.

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.

Indifference is not a vice, insensitivity is.

There’s a big difference between falling in love with someone and falling in love with someone and getting married. Usually, after you get married, you fall in love with the person even more.

What some have called rejection, I have called a door and that has made all the difference.

Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference.

The big difference for me is that, as I get older, I find it’s a lot easier to stay in shape than it is to get back in shape.

Perfect behaviour is born of complete indifference.

My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they’re going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.

There’s no doubt we were unworthy, but we were never worthless. Big difference.
