All too often we are more afraid of physical pain than of moral wrong. The cross is the standing evidence of the fact that holiness is a principle for which God would die.

What God is doing today is calling people out of the world for His name. Whether they come from the Muslim world, or the Buddhist world, or the Christian world, or the non-believing world, they are members of the body of Christ because they've been called by God. They may not even know the name of Jesus, but they know in their hearts they need something that they don't have and they turn to the only light they have and I think they're saved and they're going to be with us in heaven.

All around you are people whose lives are filled with trouble and sorrow, and they need your compassion and encouragement.

The number one problem in our world is alienation, rich versus poor, black versus white, labor versus management, conservative versus liberal, East versus West . . . But Christ came to bring about reconciliation and peace.

It could be that one of the greatest hindrances to evangelism is the poverty of our own experience.

We should not pray for God to be on our side, but pray that we may be on God's side.

You're born. You suffer. You die. Fortunately, there's a loophole.
