People need fewer 'ought-to' sermons, and more 'how-to' sermons. The deepest kind of teaching is that which makes a difference in people's day-to-day lives. Jesus spoke to the crowd with an interesting style. When God's Word is taught in an uninteresting way, people don't just think the pastor is boring, they think God is boring!

The greatest things in life are not things.

You can like somebody without agreeing with all of their policies.

God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.

I'd rather live dangerously for Jesus than exist safely for people's approval.

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

While we worry about how fast we grow, God is concerned about how strong we grow.
