We are lost when human opinion means more to us than God’s.

We do not drift into spiritual life or disciplined prayer. We will not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray.

We treat the Bible, not as if it's a magic book that has to be handled like a piece of abracadabra, make sure it's dusted, never put it on the floor, and things like that.

God's love in John 3:16 is not amazing because the world is so big, but because the world is so bad.

The person who prays more in public than in private reveals that he is less interested in God's approval than in human praise. Not piety but a reputation for piety is his concern.

Worship is the proper response of all moral, sentient beings to God, ascribing all honor and worth to their Creator-God precisely because he is worthy, delightfully so.

There is a certain kind of maturity that can be attained only through the discipline of suffering.
