A bad sermon is like a car wreck - everyone slows down to see what happened.

The soul seeks God with its whole being. Because it is desperate to be whole, the soul is God-smitten and God-crazy and God-obsessed. My mind may be obsessed with idols; my will may be enslaved to habits; my body may be consumed with appetites. But my soul will never find rest until it rests in God.

Nobody lives up to the norms that God had in mind when he first created human beings.

True repentance never leads to despair. Its leads home. It leads to grace.

Disciplined people can do the right thing at the right time in the right way for the right reason.

Scratch the surface of any cynic, and you will find a wounded idealist underneath. Because of previous pain or disappointment, cynics make their conclusions about life before the questions have even been asked. This means that beyond just seeing what is wrong with the world, cynics lack the courage to do something about it. The dynamic beneath cynicism is a fear of accepting responsibility.

Today, see each problem as an invitation to prayer.
