Like a baby learning language, we learn how to communicate with God by listening to His words first.

Repentance is like antiseptic. You pour antiseptic onto a wound and, at first, it stings. Then it heals.

Every religion has a prophet who is pointing people to God. Jesus is the only one who says, 'I am God, and I am coming to find you.'

Without immersion in God's words, our prayers may not be merely limited and shallow but also untethered from reality.

In the end, we love people into belief. We do not argue them into belief.

The deeper the experience of the free grace of God, the more generous we must become.

Prayer can be simple, but it's not easy. Nothing great is.
