Love is an overarching style of relating to another.

Grace is everywhere, like lenses that go unnoticed because you are looking through them.

Some of us seem so anxious about avoiding hell that we forget to celebrate our journey toward heaven.

We are all trophies of God's grace, some more dramatically than others; Jesus came for the sick and not the well, for the sinner and not the righteous. He came to redeem and transform, to make all things new. May you go forth more committed than ever to nourish the souls who you touch, those tender lives who have sustained the enormous assaults of the universe. (pp.88)

We can’t expect the nation to operate by Christian principles… but we can expect this of the church.

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

Grace, like water, flows to the lowest part.
