“You’ll never get to a person’s soul until you understand their hurts.”

It was not the volume of sin that sent Christ to the cross; it was the fact of sin.

I am absolutely convinced that meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain; meaninglessness comes from being weary of pleasure. And that is why we find ourselves emptied of meaning with our pantries still full.

Jesus and Buddha cannot both be right.

The biggest difference between Jesus Christ and ethical and moral teachers who have been deified by man. Is that these moralists came to make bad people good. Jesus came to make dead people live!

We have a right to believe whatever we want, but not everything we believe is right.

But life’s joys are only joys if they can be shared.

When you find your definitions in God, you find the very purpose for which you were created. Put your hand into God’s hand, know His absolutes, demonstrate His love, present His truth, and the message of redemption and transformation will take hold.

The denial of an objective moral law, based on the compulsion to deny the existence of God, results ultimately in the denial of evil itself.

If God is the author of life, there must be a script.

We have to find the back door to peoples’ hearts because the front door is heavily guarded.

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.

No one ever gets tired of loving. But everyone gets tired of waiting, assuming, hearing lies, and hurting.

Nothing you have not given away will ever really be yours.

Too much pleasure is pain.

If you are broken, you do not have to stay broken.

Guilt is a luxury that we can no longer afford.

I’m human, so of course certain things sometimes hurt. I just laugh at it.

I need not hate any man; he cannot hurt me. I need not flatter any man; he has nothing to give me.

You have to hurt in order to know. Fall in order to grow. Lose in order to gain. Because most of life’s lessons are learned in pain.
