The peace of God is not the absence of fear. It, in fact, is His presence.

Everyone will be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavors, even the best, will come to naught. Unless there is God. If the God of the Bible exists, and there is a True Reality beneath and behind this one, and this life is not the only life, then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling, can matter forever.

Faith journeys are never simply intellectual exercises.

What you do in secret tells you who your God is.

Discipleship is not an option. Jesus says that if anyone would come after me, he must follow me.

Love without truth is sentimentality; it supports and affirms us but keeps us in denial about our flaws. Truth without love is harshness; it gives us information but in such a way that we cannot really hear it.

When we worry we are saying, 'I know the way my life is supposed to go, and God's not getting it right'.
