Using death to defeat death... wow. No way the devil saw that one coming.

We can't understand our calling and our vocation until we listen to the Lord... until we look upon the Lord... until we realize who it is that we're really serving. Are we serving God? Or the world?

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

Your faith is measured by how well you love those who can't stand you.

Many of us want to know why we don't "hear" God when we pray. Few of us shut up long enough to really listen.

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.

Saints didn't set out to have everyone follow them. Saints set out to follow Jesus, and others followed them in their pursuit of Him.
