The commandments are a gift, not a curse. Sin is less about breaking the rules and more about breaking the Father's heart.

It's funny how the closer you get to God, the more you realize how far you are from Him.

Authentic Christianity is a roller-coaster ride, not a merry-go-round.

I'm a sinner. I don't always love God as strongly as I could or as directly as I should. Ash Wednesday reminds me that it is only through God that I have life; He gave it to me. God forgives. He loves. And He gives this sinner a second chance. Put simply: my God kicks ash.

Tell the devil to go to hell... that's where he belongs.

Honestly, I don't think Victoria has too many Secrets left... might be time to prayerfully consider a name change.

To love someone properly probably means that you won’t be very popular. Pure love, loving the way it was intended, is unfortunately a foreign concept to many. Love is messy. Love will involve hardship, demand patience, require forgiveness, test maturity, strain friendship, challenge priorities, refine character, ignite the heart and unleash the soul. Love is not something you sing about, it’s the reason you sing. Love is not something you write about, it’s the reason you write. Love is not something you live to find, it’s the reason that you are alive.
