The problem with spending your life climbing up the ladder is that you will go right past Jesus, for he's coming down.

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.

Great minds find beauties and appreciate it. Average minds find commonalities and compare. Small minds find the problems and criticize.

Our eventual fate will be the sum of the stories we told ourselves long enough.

I stand out not because I am six feet tall, But because I feel six feet tall.

One good punch from Rube on me would send the sky into my head and the clouds into my lungs. I just always tried to stay up.

Observe due measure, for right timing is in all things the most important factor.

The eleventh commandment: Thou shalt be tolerant of all paths that lead to God.

Life is what comes along after you have planned something else.

We're all not exactly the same person online that we are in real life. I am not as happy as my Instagram makes me look. We are all heightening the positives and downplaying the negatives.

What matters to me is that one identifies one's genuine obsessions, one's genuine commitments, one's genuine appetites, one pursues them seriously and far.

I don't know a lot about politics, but I know a lot about baseball.
