The main measure of your devotion to God is not your devotional life. It is simply your life.

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.

I've learned that if someone threatens my peace of mind, self-respect, or self-worth... I must walk away. I owe it to myself... I owe it to my future.

The turkey - my number one thing that people don't get is take that sucker out of the refrigerator about three hours before you plan on cooking it.

Everybody's creative. We create our songs and our paintings, our families and our children. Every one of us is on the cutting edge of the future.

There's more to boxing than hitting. There's not getting hit, for instance.

I've gotten really hot since you went blind.

We wouldn't care so much what people thought of us if we knew how seldom they did.

To run hard after holiness is another way of running hard after God.

'Oh and Oh' is a tennis term... It's a nice way of saying you took your opponent to pieces.

The drama is make-believe. It does not deal with truth but with effect.

Good lies need a leavening of truth to make them palatable.
