He came, not as a flash of light or as an unapproachable conqueror, but as one whose first cries were heard by a peasant girl and a sleepy carpenter. God tapped humanity on its collective shoulder, "Pardon me," he said, and eternity interrupted time, divinity interrupted carnality, and heaven interrupted the earth in the form of a baby. Christianity was born in one big heavenly interruption.

I have a great staff at the church; they protect me and allow me to focus on more of what I do best.

No one can pray and worry at the same time.

Just as your earthly house is a place of refuge, so God's house is a place of peace.

God loves people just the way they are, but He loves them too much to leave them that way!

Every time we equip the church with a verse, chapter or a story from the Bible, we're really placing another weapon in the hands of the Holy Spirit that He uses to challenge and strengthen the church. I think that's very important.

The great promise of Scripture is that every day is a day that's worth rejoicing in.
