Jesus' teaching in general [implies] that happy and fulfilling sexual relations in marriage depend on each partner aiming to give satisfaction to the other. If it is the joy of each to make the other happy, a hundred problems will be solved before they happen.

We can be content with simplicity because the deepest most satisfying delights God gives us through creation are free gifts from nature and from loving relationships with people. After your basic needs are met, accumulated money begins to diminish your capacity for these pleasures rather than increase them. Buying things contributes absolutely nothing to the heart's capacity for joy.

All heroes are shadows of Christ

It is better to lose your life than to waste it.

We need God in ways we do not know. Don't limit your experience of God to what you can think to ask. Ask for the unknown joy.

The cross is not a mere event in history; it's a way of life! Take up your cross DAILY, Jesus said!

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
