Only Christ can free us from the prison of legalism, and then only if we are willing to be freed.

I wish that we worried more about asking the right questions instead of being so hung up on finding answers.

Refusing to accept God's love because we're unworthy - of course we're unworthy! - is another golden calf.

That's a sure way to tell about somebody--the way they play, or don't play, make-believe.

There's nothing more physically exhausting than a sense of failure.

I am encouraged as I look at some of those who have listened to their "different drum": Einstein was hopeless at school math and commented wryly on his inadequacy in human relations. Winston Churchill was an abysmal failure in his early school years. Byron, that revolutionary student, had to compensate for a club foot; Demosthenes for a stutter; and Homer was blind. Socrates couldn't manage his wife, and infuriated his countrymen. And what about Jesus, if we need an ultimate example of failure with one's peers? Or an ultimate example of love?
