You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.

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

The death, and the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus happened over three days. Friday was the day of suffering and pain and agony. Saturday was the day of doubt and confusion and misery. But Easter, that Sunday, was the day of hope and joy and victory. You will face these three days over and over and over in your lifetime. And when you do, you’ll find yourself asking, as I did, three fundamental questions: Number one, what do I do in my days of pain? Two, how do I get through my days of doubt and confusion? Three, how do I get to the days of joy and victory? The answer is Easter.

A life that is never willing to change is a great tragedy - a wasted life. Change is a necessary part of a growing life, and we need change in order to remain fresh and to keep progressing.

The most common way Jesus comes into our lives is through a broken heart.

Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.

Living for God's glory is the greatest achievement we can accomplish with our lives.
