Christians get very angry toward other Christians who sin differently than they do.

When I pray for another person, I am praying for God to open my eyes so that I can see that person as God does, and then enter into the stream of love that God already directs toward that person.

I have learned that faith means trusting in advance what will make sense only in reverse.

Yet as I read the birth stories about Jesus I cannot help but conclude that though the world may be tilted toward the rich and powerful, God is tilted toward the underdog.

In a nutshell, the Bible from Genesis 3 to Revelation 22 tells the story of a God reckless with desire to get his family back.

Grace, like water, flows to the lowest part.

The proof of spiritual maturity is not how pure you are but awareness of your impurity. That very awareness opens the door to grace.

Any discussion of how pain and suffering fit into God's scheme ultimately leads back to the cross.

No one ever converted to Christianity because they lost the argument.

In the stories of extravagant grace given to us by Jesus, there are no loopholes disqualifying us from God's love.

I doubt God keeps track of how many arguments we win; God may indeed keep track of how well we love.

Short cuts make long delays.

Immeasurably, baby. I love you immeasurably.

Positive thinkers never allow fears to intimidate them because they have seen themselves succeeded already.

Give people the chance to change.

It was a strange, wonderful feeling. To discover eyes upon you when you expected no one to notice you at all.

Never invest your money in anything that eats or needs repainting.

Virtue is no empty echo.

Most of the time, I'm not even working; I'm just helping people, because I feel that I am too lucky.

It is possible for every human being to be blissful, if you are willing to pay a little attention to how this human mechanism functions.

I don't know if I'm brave.
