If only 7 percent of the 2 billion Christians in the world would care for a single orphan in distress, there would effectively be no more orphans. If everybody would be willing to simply do something to care for one of these precious treasures, I think we would be amazed by just how much we could change the world.

Do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you

There’s a day that is coming when all the last will be first and every orphan will be home.

As Christians, our compassion is simply a response to the love that God has already shown us.

I don't see the big picture. I don't have a clue. But I know God does. I'm going to declare that, even if I don't feel it right now.

I want to live with that sense with the music I make, with the art I make, with the way I love my kids, with the way I am a father and a husband and a friend and a follower of Christ, I want to live with reckless abandonment to the truth of the Gospel.

Success breeds volume, and it's just amazing how many young writers, artists, and musicians there are in town.
