The God who loans you life sees your every move, hears each word you speak, knows your every thought. You are seen by God. Noticed. Known.

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.

Man is broken down in many places because of bitterness.

I watch what I eat every day. I mean, who actually eats with their eyes closed?

I have forgotten all about my school days. I have a vague impression that they were detestable.

If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.

I don't care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who's understandable and clear.

There are many things that seem impossible only so long as one does not attempt them.

I was 20 years old at Pearl Harbor. I was in the Navy about a year and four months before the war.

Monastic life thus became a living protest against the secularization of Christianity, against the cheapening of grace.

To me, working out is literally like eating a meal or drinking water or breathing.

Note to self: no matter how bad life gets, there's always beer.
