I ask God most often that we would be an unbroken line of Christians until Christ shall return.

Sometimes I feel like the most liberal person among conservatives, and sometimes like the most conservative among liberals.

Prayer enters the pool of God's love and widens outward.

Prayer is to the skeptic a delusion, a waste of time. To the believer it represents perhaps the most important use of time.

Grace is a free gift of God, but to receive a gift you must have open hands.

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

Repentance, not proper behavior or even holiness, is the doorway to grace. And the opposite of sin is grace, not virtue.
