Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him.

Legalistic remorse says, "I broke God's rules," while real repentance says, "I broke God's heart."

God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.

The basic purpose of prayer is not to bend God's will to mine, but to mold my will into His.

Jesus didn't come to tell us the answers to the questions of life, he came to be the answer.

The only person who dares wake up a king at 3:00 AM for a glass of water is a child. We have that kind of access

Everyone says they want community and friendship. But mention accountability or commitment to people, and they run the other way.

God looks at the anxious and says, I tore my Son to shreds for you, and you're afraid I will not give you what you need?

There are some needs only you can see. There are some hands only you can hold. There are some people only you can reach.

If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.

In religion, you obey because God is useful. In Christianity, you obey because God is beautiful.

Once we become tethered to the network, we really don't need to keep computers busy. THEY KEEP US BUSY.

It seems to me a hard case to make slaves of those whom God and nature have made free.

In the United States, people don't revolt in order to obtain freedom, but continue denying it to others.

My definition of social justice: those who refuse to work deserve to go hungry.

Other networks seek to interfere with the natural process of chaos. Enlightenment is chaos, complete beyond conception

Well, I think both Russia and China have a very strong aversion to interference in internal affairs.

For to err in opinion, though it be not the part of wise men, is at least human.

You cannot underestimate the importance of preparation.

Now more people are doing work that requires individual decision-making and problem-solving, and we need an educational system that will help develop those skills.

If I was to meet Lou Reed or Bob Dylan, I would be totally helpless. Writers and musicians make me feel completely starstruck.
