Forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness. To not retaliate is to absorb the cost.

If we say, 'I believe in Jesus,' but it doesn't affect the way we live, the answer is not that now we need to add hard work to our faith so much as that we haven't truly understood or believed in Jesus at all.

We must not settle for an informed mind without an engaged heart.

Only with time do we really learn who the other person is and come to love the person for him- or herself and not just for the feelings and experiences they give us.

To truly become Christians we must also repent of the reasons we ever did anything right.

The great basis of Christian assurance is not how much our hearts are set on God, but how unshakably his heart is set on us.

The prerequisite for receiving the grace of God is to know you need it.
