For many of us the great danger is not that we will renounce our faith. It is that we will become so distracted and rushed and preoccupied that we will settle for a mediocre version of it.

Peace doesn't come from finding a lake with no storms. It comes from having Jesus in the boat.

The most important task of your life is not what you do, but who you become.

If you want to do the work of God, pay attention to people. Notice them. Especially the people nobody else notices.

Love and hurry are fundamentally incompatible. Love always takes time, and time is the one thing hurried people don't have.

What repeatedly enters your mind and occupies your mind, eventually shapes your mind, and will ultimately express itself in what you do and who you become.

The decision to grow always involves a choice between risk and comfort. This means that to be a follower of Jesus, you must renounce comfort as the ultimate value of your life.

Wise people build their lives around what is eternal and squeeze in what is temporary. Not the other way around.

Never try to have more faith - just get to know God better. And because God is faithful, the better you know Him, the more you'll trust Him.

When we live in the love of God, we begin to pay attention to people the way God pays attention to us.

I hate how hard spiritual transformation is and how long it takes. I hate thinking about how many people have gone to church for decades and remain joyless or judgmental or bitter or superior.

We will all, someday, experience death, and become obsolete as a dead leaf falling from a tree, crushed by passersby to ashes underlying the earth.

In my garden I spend my days; in my library I spend my nights.

Dog - a kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world's worship.

I believe in low lights and trick mirrors.

The Tories, every election, must have a bogy man. If you haven't got a programme, a bogy man will do.

I woke up many mornings not knowing what I'd done the night before. I'm amazed I'm not dead.

I think we have got to put fire under the feet of all kinds of people.

Wrestlers, you don't just get better from wrestling live. To improve technique, you have to learn it, then drill it. Drilling is key!

I was an anorexic, beer drinking, class cutting, doodling, shoplifting, skater chick that was into nature, art class, and the beach.

With dance, it's about education. I'm teaching a lot. I teach the foundations of hip-hop.
