I used to think JESUS motivated us with ultimatums, but now I know He pursues us in LOVE.

Do one heroic thing today; big or small doesn't matter because it defines who you are and what you really believe

Failure is just part of the process, and it's not just okay; it's better than okay. God doesn't want failure to shut us down. God didn't make it a three-strikes-and-you're-out sort of thing. It's more about how God helps us dust ourselves off so we can swing for the fences again. And all of this without keeping a meticulous record of our screw-ups.

God's big plan: go love everybody, always!

Sometimes the things we think are the impediments are actually the path.

Love one another. We don't need more instructions; we need more examples.

You don't want to pick a fight with just the guy at the deli, [you want to] pick a fight somewhere in the world and just run towards it. Run because the fight is going to go on without you if you miss it.
