I believe very confidently in the truth of Scripture, where it says that there is no authority, no power given to man except as given by God.

I've always been a rule-follower. Even when I was a kid, I tried to do everything by the book.

In the gospel, we discover we are far worse off than we thought, and far more loved than we ever dreamed.

We've been invited to come and believe the Unbelievable, receive the Inconceivable, and see beyond our wildest imaginations... Lord, we come with great expectations.

What God wants is to reveal himself more fully to us.

It's almost is like God, in our case, gave us a shot of anesthesia, you know, to your body and to your heart in a way, that you can survive. That you're - there's enough of a numbness, you're very much alive and very aware of eternity, I mean, Heaven and the real world there. I talk a lot about how Heaven's never been more clear to me. I've never been more sure that we are made for eternity.

There is no greater love than this. There is no greater gift that can ever be given. To be willing to die, so another might live -- there is no greater lover than this.
