His (Christ's) appearance in our midst has made it undeniably clear that changing the human heart and changing human society are not separate tasks, but are as interconnected as the two beams of the cross.

Is my growing old making me any closer to Christ? Am I only getting older or am I getting more godly?

Solitude begins with a time and place for God, and him alone. If we really believe not only that God exists but also that he is actively present in our lives—healing, teaching, and guiding — we need to set aside a time and space to give him our undivided attention.

For many, religion has to do with what we are allowed to do and not allowed to do. In the end, that doesn't bear fruit.

When you have loved deeply, that love can grow even stronger after the death of the person you love. That is the core message of Jesus.

Without solitude it is virtually impossible to live a spiritual life. ...We do not take the spiritual life seriously if we do not set aside some time to be with God and listen to him.

The question is not: How many people take you seriously? How much are you going to accomplish? Can you show some results? but: Are you in love with Jesus?
