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

Only in prayer can we learn to love God with all our heart, mind and soul.

We whine about things we have little control over; we lament what we believe ought to be changed.

Someone asked the Swiss physician & author Paul Tournier how he helped his patients get rid of their fears. He replied, 'I don't. Everything that's worthwhile in life is scary. Choosing a school, choosing a career, getting married, having kids--all those things are scary. If it is not fearful, it is not worthwhile.'

People who think they are free eventually end up slaves to their own desires, and those who give their freedom away to the only One you can trust with that freedom eventually get it back.

The deadening part of Bible study is when you think you've already got it all figured out.

When we ignore the world outside the walls we suffer-as does it.
