We are so quick to tweet, Facebook, and Instagram but we treat prayer with a sense of delay?

It's important to remember the Gospel is a story; not a set of bullet points.

To fail to pray, then, is not to merely break some religious rule- it is a failure to treat God as God.

There is a direct relationship between a person's grasp and experience of God's grace, and his or her heart for justice and the poor.

It fits to glorify God - it not only fits reality, because God is infinitely and supremely praiseworthy, but it fits us as nothing else does. All the beauty we have looked for in art or faces or places - and all the love we have looked for in the arms of other people - is only fully present in God himself. And so in every action by which we treat him as glorious as he is, whether through prayer, singing, trusting, obeying, or hoping, we are at once giving God his due and fulfilling our own design.

God will only give you what you would have asked for if you knew everything he knows

Christianity does not set faith against thinking. It sets faith against assuming.
