God is compassionate and just, loving and holy, wrathful and forgiving. WE can't sideline His more difficult attributes to make room for the palatable ones.

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.

We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.

Life is about Jesus. We are not here to tell our story, but His.

Don't fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.

The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.

He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a 'Christian' without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.

Think of the good that Christ imparted on the society. And think of the great evil that has been done through fanaticism over one damn phrase “salvation through Christ, the Son of God.

Our system here of creating value for others and having people do the right thing, exchange information, and so on only works if people have the right values.

I grew up in Nova Scotia, so there werent a whole lot of rules.

I've been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library.

I've always said that I think females make the best chefs anywhere in the world.

Democracy is that form of society, no matter what its political classification, in which every man has a chance and knows that he has it.

He also has energy who cannot be deprived of it.

A risk is something that feels risky to the person who's taking it.

I actually get more conservative when I'm in Vegas.

If in argument we can make a man angry with us, we have drawn him from his vantage ground and overcome him.
