An argument may remove doubt, but only the Holy Spirit can convict of truth.

It is easier to hide behind philosophical arguments, heavily footnoted for effect, than it is to admit our hurts, our confusions, our loves, and our passions in the marketplace of life's heartfelt transactions.

We do our universities a disservice when we brand them as a lost cause. There are some frightfully honest students out there, and when their questions are respectfully dealt with, many admit their vulnerability.

To allow God to be God we must follow Him for who He is and what He intends, and not for what we want and what we prefer.

We do not live so that we can eat, nor do we just eat so that we can live. Life is worth living in and of itself. Life cannot be satisfied when it is lived out as a consuming entity. When it is filled by that which satisfies a hunger that is both physical and spiritual in a mutuality that sustains both without violation of either, only then can life be truly fulfilling.

One often sees a call only in retrospect. This too is God's design. God often reinforces our faith after we trust him, not before.

Every religion at its core is exclusive.
