What makes you, in the deepest sense of the word, happy? That's what you should be doing, if the other part is also met - if it is something the world needs.

Vocation is the place where the world's greatest need and a person's greatest joy meet.

Part of the inner world of everyone is this sense of emptiness, unease, incompleteness, and I believe that this in itself is a word from God, that this is the sound that God’s voice makes in a world that has explained him away. In such a world, I suspect that maybe God speaks to us most clearly through his silence, his absence, so that we know him best through our missing him.

Your vocation in life is where your greatest joy meets the world's greatest need.

A Christian isn't necessarily any nicer than anybody else, just better informed.

Preaching and writing - it's the same. Whether I'm writing to speak or writing to be read in a book, it's the same thing.

People will buy snake oil from anybody who seems to be selling it in a persuasive way.
