What's unique about Washington is that no one's from here. Almost everybody came here to change the world, to make a difference.

The only God-ordained fear is the fear of God, and if we fear Him, we don't have to fear anyone or anything else

If the kingdom of God had departments, we’d want to work in research and development. We felt like Jesus didn’t hang out at the synagogue, he hung out at wells. Coffeehouses are postmodern wells. Let’s not wait for people to come to us, let’s go to them.

In my experience, take the Holy Spirit out of the equation of your life and it spells boring. Add it into the equation of your life and you never know where you are going to go, what you are going to do, or who you are going to meet.

Pursuing a God-ordained passion, no matter how crazy it seems, is the most responsible thing you can do.

Half of spiritual growth is learning what we don't know. The other half is unlearning what we do know.

It's hard for me to imagine why a church that has younger members wouldn't have a blog component.
