In the end what matters is not how good we are but how good God is. Not how much we love Him but how much He loves us. And God loves us whoever we are, whatever we’ve done or failed to do, whatever we believe or can’t.

People often speak of God being even-handed. God is not even-handed. God is biased, in favor of the weak, of the despised.

A person who is assured of the love of God will see his fellow men in a different light and treat them and himself differently, and of course this also applies to business leaders.

You think sometimes that maybe if the person who hurt you is clobbered you will feel a little better. But it actually doesn't.

My father always used to say, "Don't raise your voice. Improve your argument."

When a fire starts in one it just races through. And that is in a way unconscionable.

You have to say, whatever it is that I say or do or think or teach must be something that will be consistent with who Jesus Christ was. So that is your ultimate litmus test, not that you've got specific words to say, whatever they may be saying. It is what is being said. They're consistent with the revelation of God that we encounter in Jesus.
