When you stop being so afraid of failing you become much more free to succeed

Never forget what Jesus did for you. Never take lightly what it cost Him. And never assume that if it cost Him His very life, that it won't also cost you yours.

I am a Christian, not because someone explained the nuts and bolts of Christianity, but because there were people willing to be nuts and bolts.

We never understand what we're praying, and God, in His mercy, does not answer our prayers according to our understanding, but according to His wisdom.

Save me from trendy religion that makes cheap clichés out of timeless truths.

We were given the Scriptures to humble us into realizing that God is right, and the rest of us are just guessing.

It always cracks me up when people try to impress God, because people don't have to impress God. He's already knocked out by you.

Love is found in the things we've given up, more than in the things that we have kept.

Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken.

After you're dead [...] it's not gonna matter if you have a few scars. It will matter if you didn't live.

My salvation has very little to do with anything that I have done... Jesus will go to any lengths to draw us to himself.

When you are loving, kind, and true everyone will find astonishing beauty within you.

God wants to accomplish the calling of winners, he wants us to establish His victory on earth

I think every album you have, especially if it's done well, you feel like you're competing with yourself.

And hail their queen, fair regent of the night.

It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing.

You are drained by foolish actions and others.

I hope this will find you...enjoying the commencement of a new year with every prospect that can make it a happy one.

Use harms and even destroys beauty. The noblest function of an object is to be contemplated.

Have I dated a supermodel? Of course not. I'd look ridiculous.
