I believe what Irenaeus said - the glory of God is a human being fully alive.

Not everything in this life has a happy ending, but this life is not the end of the story.

The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times.

Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves that allows us to get on with our lives instead of being trapped in the past by resentment.

There is one thing that motivates me. It is the global glory of God. I am first and foremost a missionary. I am an evangelist and a missionary.

We always get into trouble when we doubt God's love, because when we don't trust him, we don't obey him.

How does God teach me love? By putting me around unlovely people. How does God teach me joy in the middle of grief? Not happiness, which is based on happenings. How does God teach me peace? Not when I am out fishing and everything is going my way and it doesn't get better than this. But in the middle of chaos. How does God teach me patience? By putting me in His waiting room.
