When we get to what happens when we die, we don't have any video footage. So let's at least be honest that we are speculating, because we are.

Love is giving up control. It’s surrendering the desire to control the other person. The two—love and controlling power over the other person—are mutually exclusive. If we are serious about loving someone, we have to surrender all the desires within us to manipulate the relationship.

For a lot of people in our world today, God has become about believing the right stuff so you don't get in trouble.

The Bible tells a story. A story that isn’t over. A story that is still being told. A story that we have a part to play in.

When you forgive somebody, when you are generous, when you withhold judgment, when you love and when you stand up to injustice, you are, in that moment, bringing heaven to earth.

I think what's happened in the modern world, there's a lot of people that sound very smart and it's very compelling and alluring, but it leaves you empty.

To me some of the greatest writing is when somebody puts something in words that you felt and experienced and you go, that's it.
