God loves us too much to pretend our sin isn't there. Sin is a cancer and Christ the surgeon. True prayer signs the consent form.

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

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.

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

If the heart is hardened, the intellect is darkened.

You can't do God's will and satisfy everyone.

Life's too short not to tell the people you love how you feel. Say it... and say it often. Oh, and start with God.
