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

Christianity is not about not swearing. It’s not about not having impure thoughts. Really, it’s not about not at all. Christianity is about Jesus.

You don’t have to be good to be Jesus’s friend. You just have to be honest.

We need a bigger estimation of God and a smaller estimation of sin.

The common denominator is that we all need help.

Don’t cheapen Jesus’s sacrifice by trying to pay him back

Our righteousness doesn’t depend on our present performance but on Jesus’ finished performance.

It seemed too good to be true. That’s grace.

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.

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

If you aren’t really careful, ‘The Good Enough’ can become the enemy of ‘The Best.’

You are the most important part of the family. Take care of yourself first. Then you’ll be able to take care of everyone else even better.

Pray as if God will take care of all; act as if all is up to you.

So a moral position is not a message. A moral position is a passionate caring inside you.

The only meaning of life worth caring about is one that can withstand our best efforts to examine it.

Not everything needs a reaction. Save you energy and care for things that genuinely matter.

Spirituality is impacted not only by remembrance but by diet, stress, sleeping and eating habits among other things. Take care of yourself.

Radical self-care is quantum, and radiates out into the atmosphere, like a little fresh air. It is a huge gift to the world. When people respond by saying, “Well, isn’t she full of herself,” smile obliquely, like Mona Lisa, and make both of you a nice cup of tea.
