There is a story behind every person, a reason why they are the way they are. Don't be quick to judge. Be kind and assume the best.

Difficulties come into our lives to develop us. Every storm is a school. Every trial is a teacher. Every experience is an education.

This may sound pernickety but I wouldn't describe myself as an evangelical. These are labels, which I don't think are helpful. If I was going to use any label it would be Christian, and if you push me any further I'd say I'm an Anglican - that's the family of the Church that I belong to. There's nothing wrong with any of the other labels, but if you have any of them I want them all. If you're going to say, 'I'm Catholic, liberal, evangelical...' let's have them all.

The words of the tongue should have three gatekeepers: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

A happy relationship is made up of two good forgivers.

A lot of problems in the world would be solved if we talked to each other instead of about each other.

Church is not an organization you join; it is a family where you belong, a home where you are loved and a hospital where you find healing.
