I do believe that the Kingdom of God is present wherever Jesus is king. That's my definition of the Kingdom of God.

Resentment always hurts you more than the person you resent.

We are all called to fulfill God's five purposes for our lives: to worship, to fellowship, to grow like Christ, to serve, and to be on mission with God in the world.

If God only used perfect people, nothing would get done. God will use anybody if you're available.

I spend most of my time speaking to people who totally disagree with me. I speak to gays, I speak to atheists, I speak to secularists, I speak to Muslims because I am trying to build a bridge between my heart and theirs so Jesus can walk across and they can come to know Christ.

If you don't live by priorities, you'll live by pressures. Either you determine what's important in life or other people will determine it for you.

And you know, when you've experienced grace and you feel like you've been forgiven, you're a lot more forgiving of other people. You're a lot more gracious to others.
