The church is in the hope business.

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.

Gift the children corruption free nation. Happy Children's day.

Not all truths hurt. And not all that is hurtful is truthful.

Preaching is God's great institution for the planting and maturing of spiritual life. When properly executed, its benefits are untold. When wrongly executed, no evil can exceed its damaging results.

I have travelled all over the world and one thing that amazes me is that I can communicate with people. My story may be different but emotionally we are all the same.

Beingness is just joy.

Earth being so good, would heaven seem best?

I'm looking for a president that'll be like a Ronald Reagan to a Jimmy Carter.

I don't think we live in a particularly equal society.

Passion is the genius of genius.
