Faith in God is to be demonstrated, not defined.

A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to 'accept' Christ without forsaking the world.

Worshipers never leave church...we carry our sanctuary with us wherever we go.

Faith is not a conclusion you reach...it's a journey you live.

Jesus Christ knows the worst about you. Nonetheless, He is the one who loves you the most.

The only Christian you want to listen to is the one who gives you more of a hunger for God.

God's Word is true whether we believe it or not. Human unbelief cannot alter the character of God.

Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will.

What's closest to your heart is what you talk about, and if God is close to your heart, you'll talk about Him.

When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.

If your life does not worship God, your lips do not worship God either.

You’re sure you didn’t leave? Didn’t try to explore Thunder Bay again, maybe go down to the park and, I don’t know, dismember some poor jogger?

Great grace, great life.

What I was chasing in circles must have been the tail of the darkness inside me.

When I go and work with people, I never say, 'Your dog is changed for the rest of its life.' It's like a diet. You've got to maintain a discipline and ritual in your life to keep a certain figure.

You can't rest on any laurels if they exist, and happily there are some from the franchise, but you have to always expand your own horizon both creatively and technically as well.

Don't settle in the land of barely enough. That is where you are, it is not who you are. That's your location, it's not your identity. No matter what it looks like, have an abundant mentality.

I don't get that much enjoyment out of saying 'I own it.'

I handle my emotional pain with music and old movies, preferably Westerns.

Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

Stick me in a confessional and ask the question: Sir, if you had the authority, would you forbid smoking in America? You'd get a solemn and contrite, Yes.
