When Jesus isn’t our everything, our enough, we pursue every other thing that fills.

We cannot let the haters of this world define us. Or frighten us into no longer being ourselves.

Worry is a weighty monster with poisoned tentacles. It clutches at us, grabs at our minds, steals our breath, our will. It lurks. It pounces. It colors how we perceive the world.

When the world careens out of control, we can rest in the fact that God spun this world with a simple word. Matter from emptiness. Beauty from void. Community from chaos.

God's heart…is not that we escape our lot, but that we learn to thrive in the midst of it.

Dare to be brave today, and trust that when you extend your wings, you will fly.

Because the culture we breathe and work in rushes against rest. It equates our worth with production and wealth and fame. The more we work toward those goals, the more society assigns us worth.

Growth comes from God, to those with surrendered, yielded hearts.

We may not understand the pathways God lays out before us. We may not even like walking the journey. But even in failure, we can trust that He’ll do more than we expect.

Jesus often calls us to risk. He asks us to be vulnerable, to be authentic, so others can see Him in and through us.

As I look back over my mountains of growth and compare them to the molehills where I stagnated, community often made the difference.

It's okay to keep a broken oven in your yard as long as you call it art.

Your best is good enough.

Geniuses are the luckiest of mortals because what they must do is the same as what they most want to do.

What the world needs today more than anything else is an implicit faith in God, our Father, and in Jesus Christ, His Son, as the Redeemer of the world.

Yellen’s comments suggest, and I agree, that we are in an asset bubble.

[Hillary Clinton] is going to raise taxes $1.3 trillion.

Interwoven is the love of liberty with every ligament of the heart.

The allure becomes, "Can I make these rooms bigger?" Can I fill these 1,500-seat rooms? Then the allure is, how much, if we're being honest, how much can I squeeze out of it financially?

The democratic world has come to a dead end; likewise, the communist world has come to a dead end. But the Unification Church is just beginning!

What I will say to people is what you require are rules and not prejudices.
