Being a disciple of Jesus Christ is not an effort of once a week or once a day. It is an effort of once and for all.

Life is not only meant to be appreciated in retrospect ... There is something each day to embrace and cherish.

Don't judge me because I sin differently from you.

You have agency, and you are free to choose. But there is actually no free agency. Agency has its price. You have to pay the consequences of your choices.

Like the shepherds of old, we need to say in our hearts, “Let us see this thing which is come to pass.” We need to desire it in our hearts. Let us see the Holy One of Israel in the manger, in the temple, on the mount, and on the cross. Like the shepherds, let us glorify and praise God for these tidings of great joy!

Now is the best time to start becoming the person we eventually want to be—not only 20 years from now but also for all eternity.

The thing about the truth is that it exists outside of belief. Even if nobody believes it, that thing is still true.
