Every time you ask for forgiveness, you recognize that the biggest problems you face in life exist inside of you, not outside of you.

You cannot divide human beings into those who worship and those who don't. Everybody worships; it's just a matter of what, or whom, we serve.

Standing near someone you love in a time of trouble is its own reward.

People struggling with life in a fallen world often want explanations when what they really need is imagination.

The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed.

If you don't keep the eyes of your heart focused on the paradise that is to come, you will try to turn this poor fallen world into the paradise it will never be.

Sin is much more than doing the wrong thing. It begins withloving, worshiping, and serving the wrong thing.
