You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.

Make your life about something bigger than your life.

The character of the faith that allows us to be transformed by suffering and darkness is not doubt-free certainty; rather, it is tenacious obedience.

God is still in the business of coming down to earth: to this cubicle, this email, this room, this house, this job, this hospital room, this car, this bed, this vacation. Any place can become Bethel, the house of God. Cleveland, maybe. Or the chair you're sitting in as you read these words.

The test of love is that it gives even when there is no expectation of a return.

The church is in the hope business.

We may be unlovely yet we are not unloved.
