Becoming a Christian was terribly helpful to me. I can't imagine finding my way without it. I think it can be very crucially important to ally yourself with some religion.

To believe in Christ is to give your heart to Christ, which means not to affirm things about Christ, but it's like what you mean when you say, "I believe in my friend."

To believe is not intellectual assent: "Yes, I believe in Jesus. I will sign my name to the Nicene Creed. I believe it all" - which you could do, [but] it would have no effect on who you were or what you did. It is, rather, to give your heart.

God himself does not give answers. He gives himself.

The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you.

Coincidences are God's way of getting our attention.

Pray anyway. Who knows what God can do through your prayer?
