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

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.

Only through repentance and faith in Christ can anyone be saved. No religious activity will be sufficient, only true faith in Jesus Christ alone.

When your life is changed by Jesus, you are a new creature. God not only changes what you do, He also changes what you want to do.

To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, “I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge

Redemption is prior to righteousness. You cannot be righteous until you are first redeemed.

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 loneliest moment in life is when you have just experienced that which you thought would deliver the ultimate, and it has just let you down.

Success is more difficult to handle than failure.

History is a grim reminder of what happens to those who think they have no law but themselves.

Whenever you try to break God’s moral law, you end up breaking yourself and hurting others – all while proving His law in the process.

When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time.

In time, the hurt began to fade and it was easier to just let it go.

Life has been some combination of fairy-tale coincidence and joie de vivre and shocks of beauty together with some hurtful self-questioning.

Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace.

You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.

These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.

Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you’ll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone.

It never hurts to have friends around, so that’s why you’d form a crew.
