“Men, you’ll never be a good groom to your wife unless you’re first a good bride to Jesus.”

We come to God saying, “Look at all I’ve done,” or maybe “Look at all I’ve suffered.” God, however, wants us to look to him – to just wash.

The purpose of Jesus’s coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it.

Christ’s resurrection not only gives you hope for the future; it gives you hope to handle your scars right now.

Suffering can refine us rather than destroy us because God himself walks with us in the fire.

How does Satan accuse us? By causing us to look at our sin rather than our Savior.

Think like a prophet, serve like a priest, and plan like a king.

We tend to see God as a means through which we get things to make us happy. For most of us, He has not become our happiness.

The basic purpose of prayer is not to bend God’s will to mine, but to mold my will into His.

It’s impossible to have met the real Jesus and be indifferent. You either bow down in wonder OR go away offended.

After creation God said, ‘It is finished’-and he rested. After redemption Jesus said, ‘It is finished’-and we can rest.

It is not the strength of your faith but the object of your faith that actually saves you.

The only person who dares wake up a king at 3:00 AM for a glass of water is a child. We have that kind of access

The main human problems often are that we misidentify what will make us happy; and we ask people and things to save us beyond their ability.

We need to remember that we are saved by grace when we fail. But we need to remember it much more when we succeed.

The lack of joy in your life is due to your lack of mission.

If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.

The soul bride shall never be a widow, she shall never suffer sorrow.

When the bride is one with her lover, who cares about the wedding party?

The ignorant soul bride wanders in delusion, in the love of duality, she sits like a widow. She sits like a widow, in the love of duality, infatuated with Maya, she suffers in pain. She grows old, and her body withers away.

There is no greater feeling than when a groom turns to see his bride and has tears in his eyes because she is so beautiful.

From biscuit to brides, if there is anything their children really want, parents have a problem.

It’s hard to juggle being a businessperson with being a creative person. You have to organize yourself – PR needs me for PR, and the licensing division needs me for licensing, the bridal people need me for bridal.

Brides today are increasingly sensitive to the tastes, feelings and finances of their attendants.

Hollywood brides keep the bouquets and throw away the grooms.
