God understands how you feel and has faced what you face.

We refuse to believe that this present world is the sum total of human existence.

All of my books began as sermons, so really the heart of the message is still the same.

All my books come out of sermons, and I'm really a pastor who writes rather than a writer who pastors.

Sometimes I wonder if we don't see Christ's love as much in the people he tolerated as in the pain he endured.

Demanding respect is like chasing a butterfly. Chase it, and you'll never catch it. Sit still, and it may light on your shoulder.

I don't know if I'll always be a pastor.
