All paths lead to God, but only one path will present you before God without fault and with great joy. Pick a path, any path—it will take you to God. Trust me: you will stand before Him one day. You will meet your Maker. You will see the face of Christ. There are many ways up the mountain, but only one will result in life instead of destruction.

Don't try so hard to be hip. When the Church finds out what is cool, it is not cool anymore.

I try to keep in my mind the simple question: Am I trying to do good or make myself look good? Too many of our responsibilities get added to our plate when we are trying to please people, impress people, prove ourselves, acquire power, increase our prestige. All those motivations are about looking good more than doing good.

Sincerity is a Christian virtue, as is honesty about our struggles. But my generation needs to realize that Christianity is more than chic fragility, endless self-revelation, and the coolness that comes with authenticity.

The best way to leave a legacy is to believe, teach, defend, and promote what is true.

No one in the history of the world has been more inclusive of repentant sinners than Jesus and no one has been more intolerant of sin.

The one indispensable requirement for producing godly, mature Christians is godly, mature Christians.
