If we do not become changed from the inside-out - if we don't morph - we will be tempted to find external methods to satisfy our need to feel that we're different from those outside the faith. If we cannot be transformed, we will settle for being informed or conformed.

Never try to have more faith - just get to know God better. And because God is faithful, the better you know Him, the more you'll trust Him.

God is not interested in our spiritual life. He's interested in our life.

It's better to have the faith to embrace reality with all its pain than to cling to the false comfort of a painless fantasy.

One of the great misconceptions about spiritual growth that develops in a lot of churches is that information alone is adequate to produce transformed human beings. So if we want to have a church of spiritually mature people, let's just keep cramming more and more information into them... Information alone is not adequate for the transformation of the human personality.

If we are serious about loving God, we must begin with people, all people. And especially we must learn to love those that the world generally discards.

Every human being who has ever lived has suffered from a messiah complex-except one.
