We grow up hungry for love, and in ways so deep as to remain unexpressed we long for our Maker to love us.

If prayer stands as the place where God and human beings meet, then I must learn about prayer. Most of my struggles in the Christian life circle around the same two themes: why God doesn't act the way we want God to, and why I don't act the way God wants me to. Prayer is the precise point where those themes converge.

If Jesus had never lived, we would not have been able to invent him.

It's easy to fall into the trap of feeling like you've heard everything before and that you have nothing left to learn.

I have yet to find any support in the Bible for an attitude of smugness: Ah, they deserve their punishment; watch them squirm.

...to see that God does answer, in great things as well as small, the prayers of those who put their trust in Him will strengthen the faith of multitudes.

For me, the world of nature bears spectacular witness to the imaginative genius of our Creator.
