Fear of God failing us leads us to "cover for God." This means we ask, expect, and are satisfied with less.

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.

God has allowed hard things in your life so you can show the world that your God is great and that knowing Him brings peace and joy, even when life is hard.

God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

The human mind is a dramatic structure in itself and our society is absolutely saturated with drama

I've always been a sad person. I'm a happy person too, but it's a thing in my brain or my spirit or something, I'm just sad and really acutely aware of mortality and loss.

Animals that not only move by their own free will and share feelings with people but also possess sight and hearing qualify as deserving of names.

What we need is not more learning, not more eloquence, not more persuasion, not more organization, but more power from the Holy Spirit.

There are so many venues in which stars are exposed today, that we just know much more and the studios don't have the control over stars like they used to, in the 30s, 40s, and 50s.
