The church does not exist for us. We are the church, and we exist for the world.

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.

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

We have to ask ourselves, 'Am I really trying to discern God's will, or determine whether I want to do it?'

Your soul craves truth, beauty, wonder, love. Your soul craves to dream, to imagine, and even simply to understand. Your soul craves to connect, to commune, to create.

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

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