I am just an earthly sinful father & I love my kids so much it hurts. How could I not trust a heavenly, perfect Father who loves me infinitely more than I will ever love my kids?

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.

It’s not easy balancing a career, a family and a healthy outlook on life, which is why I don’t.

Forget about what you might have lost but instead focus on what you have room to gain.

My mother’s laughter was infectious - like a cheerful tune that lingers in your mind for the rest of the day.

You change your life by changing your heart.

I have two bikes: a classic 1978 Yamaha SR500 and a more modern Suzuki SV650. I've been into cars and bikes since I was tiny.

It's not always easy to identify your own voice. It comes with time.

Whoever designed this frigging map was having a laugh. Just around the corner, my arse.

I'm not talking ideas, or even presentation. It's like in politics: You have to sell something to become an electric player - like your skin or your heart.

I REPRESENT THE INDIVIDUAL. I REPRESENT BEING HAPPY WITH WHO YOU ARE

The terrible tyranny of the majority.
