When the world sees us doing evangelism, they just see us recruiting. When they see us doing justice, they see God's glory.

If you have money, power, and status today, it is due to the century and place in which you were born, to your talents and capacities and health, none of which you earned. In short, all your resources are in the end the gift of God.

Just because we don't see a reason for evil and suffering doesn't mean there's not a reason for it.

Only if you are part of a community of believers seeking to resemble, serve, and love Jesus will you ever get to know him and grow into his likeness.

Only when our greatest love is God, a love that we cannot lose even in death, can we face all things with peace. Grief was not to be eliminated but seasoned and buoyed up with love and hope.

You are worse than you think you are, but also far more loved than you feel you are.

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