Both hope and pessimism are deeply contagious. And no one is more infectious than a leader.

There is no way for a human being to come to God that does not involve surrender.

Skepticism can keep us from blessing, can keep us trapped in two minds.

You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.

Many Christians expend so much energy and worry trying not to sin. The goal is not to try to sin less. In all your efforts to keep from sinning, what are you focusing on? Sin. God wants you to focus on him. To be with him. “Abide in me.” Just relax and learn to enjoy his presence. Every day is a collection of moments, 86,400 seconds in a day. How many of them can you live with God? Start where you are and grow from there. God wants to be with you every moment.

Grace is the offer of God's ceaseless presence and irrational love that cannot be stopped.

Significance is about who we are before it is about what we do.
