Doesn't every encounter with God only cause us to thirst for Him more?

Marriage is one of the most humbling, sanctifying journeys you will ever be a part of. It forces us to wrestle with our selfishness and pride. But it also gives us a platform to display love and commitment.

Again, our marriage problems are not really marriage problems. They are heart problems. They are God problems. Our lack of intimacy with God causes a void that we try to fill with the frailest of substitutes. Like wealth or pleasure. Like fame or respect. Like people. Like marriage.

Having faith often means doing what others see as crazy.

Churches we build only by our own efforts and not in the strength of the Spirit will quickly collapse when we don't push and prod people along.

My love for prayer was an answer to prayer.

Christians are like manure: spread them out and they help everything grow better, but keep them in one big pile and they stink horribly.
