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

The problem with spending your life climbing up the ladder is that you will go right past Jesus, for he's coming down.

Who you become while you're waiting is as important as what you're waiting for.

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

Jesus gave the world its most influential movement.

There is something you can't fix, can't heal, or can't escape, and all you can do it trust God. Finding ultimate refuge in God means you become so immersed in his presence, so convinced of his goodness, so devoted to his lordship that you find even the cave is a perfectly safe place to be because he is there with you.
