Most of us are far too busy for our own spiritual good.

If your life is rushing in many directions at once, you are incapable of the kind of deep, unhurried prayer that is vital to the Christian walk.

You can live and lead small, live and lead safe, live and lead selfishly, or you can pursue a grander vision.

When you get to the end will God say, "Well done," or, "What was up with that?"

Most people feel best about themselves when they have given their very best.

If we were to boil down Christianity to its core, we'd be left with simply this: relationship with God. The living, loving God of the universe has spoken throughout history, and still speaks today - not just to pastors or priests, but to anyone who will listen. God will speak to you.

One of the greatest thrills in all of life is to feel the hand of God working through you and to be a part of the working reality of the church engaged in a movement larger than self.
