A pretentious, showy life is an empty life; a plain and simple life is a full life.

Every temptation is an offer to doubt God's love and wisdom.

Real security can only be found in that which can never be taken from you - your relationship with God.

He created the church to meet your five deepest needs: a purpose to live for, people to live with, principles to live by, a profession to live out, and power to live on. There is no other place on earth where you can find all five of these benefits in one place.

The things you’re most embarrassed about, most ashamed of, and most reluctant to share are the very tools God can use most powerfully to heal others

God accepts us unconditionally, and in his view we are all precious and priceless. Focus on this and you will not waste any time and effort trying to be someone you're not.

Sacrifice is the essence of love, which is the essence of God.
