When we stop believing the world can become a better place, when we stop caring about the lives and conditions of others, we lose a part of ourselves.

The epicenter of creativity and imagination should be the Church, reflecting the character and glory of God.

You are both a work of art and an artist at work.

How in the world could you ever imagine a life of faith that does not require risk? Faith and risk are inseparable.

Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the absence of self.

We were created to be expressions of the goodness and wholeness of God.

God allows and at times causes us to go through the kinds of circumstances that strip away all falsehood and leave us with our real selves. God's ultimate intent is not to leave us faithless, but to leave us faith-full. There are few things as exhilarating as going through the fire and finding that you had the resilience to make it through. All of us wonder at times whether we have what it takes. God wants to bring us to a place where we have no doubt of the work He has done within us.
