You and I are not allowed to tell Him how much He can hate it (sin).

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.

God has allowed hard things in your life so you can show the world that your God is great and that knowing Him brings peace and joy, even when life is hard.

God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.

Life is about Jesus. We are not here to tell our story, but His.

Don't fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.

The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.

He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a 'Christian' without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.

The past haunts the present in more ways than we think. It certainly scares the living daylights out of ME"~ Old Wrinkly

Heaven must be very beautiful, of course, the Bible says so — but, Anne, it won't be what I've been used to.

I began to wonder if what makes men walk so lordlike and speak so masterfully is having the love of women. If that was it, Sarah and I would make lords of each other.

I can show you new things, have you feeling spiritual.

Knowledge has no enemy except an ignorant man.

You can kill that man but not his song, When it's sung the whole world round...

Going against the tide has never been difficult for me. It wasn't even a conscious decision but the natural consequence of following my own instinct.

I want to get rich and die old.

I learned to draw everything except glamorous women. No matter how much I tried to make them look sexy, they always ended up looking silly... or like somebody's mother.

To the proud the slightest repulse or disappointment is the last indignity.
