Life has been reduced to temporal pursuits disconnected from all the other disciplines necessary for life to be meaningfully engaged.

Truth by definition excludes.

One of the most staggering truths of the Scriptures is to understand that we do not earn our way to heaven. ...works have a place--but as a demonstration of having received God's forgiveness, not as a badge of merit of having earned it.

Love is as much a question of the will as it is of the emotion. And if you WILL to love somebody, you can.

When you think of it, really there are four fundamental questions of life. Youve asked them, Ive asked them, every thinking person asks them. They boil down to this; origin, meaning, morality and destiny. How did I come into being? What brings life meaning? How do I know right from wrong? Where am I headed after I die?

You'll never get to a person's soul until you understand their hurts.

The older we become, the more difficult it is to fill our hearts with wonder. Only God is big enough to keep filling us with wonder.
