The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.

The litmus test of our love for God is our love of neighbor.

We must go out into a desert of some kind (your backyard will do) and come into a personal experience of the awesome love of God.

Childlike surrender and trust, I believe, is the defining spirit of authentic discipleship.

We should be astonished at the goodness of God, stunned that He should bother to call us by name, our mouths wide open at His love, bewildered that at this very moment we are standing on holy ground.

Tragedy is that our attention centers on what people are not, rather than on what they are and who they might become.

Reality, truth, and Jesus Christ are incredibly open-ended
