The world thirsts for grace. When grace descends, the world falls silent before it.

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

The world says you gain your life by getting more and more and more and more, but Jesus says, 'No, that leads to death. You get it back by giving it away and when you give it away you get it back.'

We do well to remember that the Bible has far more to say about how to live during the journey than about the ultimate destination.

Nature was one of the key forces that brought me back to God, for I wanted to know the Artist responsible for beauty such as I saw on grand scale in photos from space telescopes or on minute scale such as in the intricate designs on a butterfly wing.

God must love art because most of the Bible is expressed in the form of story or poetry.

By striving to prove how much they deserve God's love, legalists miss the whole point of the gospel, that it is a gift from God to people who don't deserve it. The solution to sin is not to impose an ever-stricter code of behavior. It is to know God.
