The life of Jesus Christ is a message of hope, a message of mercy, a message of life in a dark world.

Waiting is an expectant patience. It's a patience that says, "I don't know what God is going to do, but I know God is going to do something."

It seems to me that election season is just a Petri dish for anger and cynicism.

Don't you need a fountain of love that won't run dry? You'll find one on a stone-cropped hill outside Jerusalem's walls where Jesus hangs, cross-nailed and thorn-crowned. When you feel unloved, ascend this mount. Meditate long and hard on heaven's love for you.

The key is this: Meet today's problems with today's strength. Don't start tackling tomorrow's problems until tomorrow. You do not have tomorrow's strength yet. You simply have enough for today.

The people who make a difference are not the ones with the credentials but the ones with the concern.

God is not troubled by one who is conservative or liberal, and He certainly never inclines His ear toward a donkey or an elephant.
