The human longings that are deep inside of us never go away. They exist across cultures; they exist throughout life. When people were first made, our deepest longing was to know and be known. And after the Fall, when we all got weird, it's still our deepest longing - but it's now also our deepest fear.

Too often we argue about Christianity instead of marveling at Jesus.

Hurry is not just a disordered schedule. Hurry is a disordered heart.
