If only Jesus' followers shared his personality. That one shift alone would correct so many of the ridiculous and horrifying things that pass for popular Christianity.

They ignore what is deep and true to a man's heart, his real passions, and simply try to shape him up through various forms of pressure.

A man must have a battle to fight, a great mission to his life that involves and yet transcends even home and family.

So long as man remains no real threat to the Enemy, Satan's line to him is 'You're fine'. But after you do take sides, it becomes 'Your heart is bad and you know it'.

The point is the love story. We live in a love story in the midst of war.

Faith looks back and draws courage; hope looks ahead, and keeps desire alive.

The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart.
