I have an unquenchable desire to slow down and find my life going deeper in my walk with Christ. I want to meet him in the depths of my soul, away from the stress and press of everything on top. A relationship with Christ is the key to fulfilling our deepest longings. All of life is about filling the void that sin and separation from him have created within. Filling the emptiness with piles of things, earthly friendships, satisfying experiences, and sensual encounters ultimately proves to achieve less than what we had hoped for. Christ is the only one who fits.

Perhaps the greatest self-deceit is to tell ourselves that we can be self-sufficient.

Authentic Christianity is not just about keeping and protecting the faith and keeping the rules. It is even more than living to deepen your relationship with Jesus. Authentic Christianity, the real deal, is about embracing all of these important elements.

I have yet to hear of anyone who, on his deathbed, wished he'd spent more time at the office.

Communication is a two-way street. And while we revel in the reality that we can always get through to heaven, our concern should be whether our Lord can always get through to us.

God has marvelous ways of taking our worst tragedies and turning them into His most glorious triumphs.

Being part of an agenda beyond ourselves liberates us to complement each other rather than compete with each other.
