The goal of 'The Purpose Driven Life' is to help people develop a heart for the world.

I have the greater glory of God, the history is His story, that He is in charge and ultimately He knows what He's doing.

I added up all the money the church paid me for the first 25 years and gave it all back.

In the fall literally everything is broken. Nothing on this planet works. Every body is broken, none of our bodies works perfectly. Every relationship is broken. The weather is broken. I don't have a problem with hurricanes. Nothing works on this planet. This is not heaven, this is Earth and that is why we are to pray thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Why? Because God's perfect will is done perfectly in heaven. So I am to pray that done here.

Gods plan isn't a map for your life that you see all at once, but a scroll unrolled a little at a time.

When you feel nothing, God is teaching you to live by faith.

Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test.
