Prayer gets us in on what God is doing.

Christians don't simply learn or study or use Scripture; we assimilate it, take it into our lives in such a way that it gets metabolized into acts of love, cups of cold water, missions into all the world, healing and evangelism and justice in Jesus' name, hands raised in adoration of the Father, feet washed in company with the Son.

When you are part of a megachurch you have no responsibility to anybody else.

My job is not to solve people's problems or make them happy, but to help them see the grace operating in their lives.

Pastors are highly susceptible to the sin of sloth.

The Bible makes it clear that every time that there is a story of faith, it is completely original. God's creative genius is endless.

Spirituality is no different from what weve been doing for two thousand years just by going to church and receiving the sacraments, being baptized, learning to pray, and reading Scriptures rightly. Its just ordinary stuff.
