“Every time you get on your knees and pray to God, ‘Holy’ keeps the respect and reverence while ‘Father’ brings Him close & intimate.”

When you come to religion, you come to a place. When you come to Jesus Christ, you come to a person.

The purpose of prayer and of God’s call in your life isn’t to make you number one in the world’s eyes but to make Him number one in your life.

There is no greater discovery than seeing God as the author of your destiny.

In today’s society, looking good and feeling good often trumps doing good and being good. And some people don’t know the difference anymore.

Love is as much a question of the will as it is of the emotion. And if you WILL to love somebody, you can.

Like a child who suddenly stops sobbing when he is clasped in the arms of his mother, such will be the grip of heaven upon our souls.

What you applaud you encourage, but beware what you celebrate.

A mood can be a dangerous state of mind, because it can crush reason under the weight of feeling.

Our sense of wonder is a blessing from God, given so that we would be continually amazed at His beauty and creation.

I have little doubt that the single greatest obstacle to the impact of the gospel has not been its inability to provide answers, but the failure on our part to live it out.

The Cross of Christ is the crux of history. Without the Cross, history cannot be defined or corrected.

The purity of man is the absence of something, the purity of Jesus is the presence of something.

Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.

To every door that closed on me: I am coming back to buy the building.

Stay open: to healing, to growth, to trusting. There is too much ahead to close yourself off.

It is really beautiful to hear I miss you from someone close to your heart.

Let’s not close our eyes to those with special needs. Instead, let’s be a pillar of support and empower them to achieve everything they seek.‬

Watch for phonies, keep your enemies close, watch your homies.

I promise you I will do everything just as you ask. But come closer. Let us give in to grief, however briefly, in each other’s arms.

My husband and I were so closely united by our affection and our common work that we passed nearly all of our time together.
