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

The history of God's people is not a record of God searching for courageous men and women who could handle the task, but God transforming the hearts of cowards and calling them to live courageous lives.

We can’t change history, but we can create the future.

Courage frees us from the fears that would rob us of life itself.

Two thousand years ago, God started a revolt against the religion He started. So don't ever put it past God to cause a groundswell movement against churches and Christian institutions that bear His name.

Faith is the determination to create with our lives what only our hearts can conceive.

I am convinced the Church is the greatest hope for humanity and for creating a new world where everyone is valued and embraced regardless of differences.
