When people say, "God is love," I think they mean that love is extremely important, or that God really wants us to love. But in Christian conception, God really has love as his essence.

When I forget the gospel I become dependent on the smiles and evaluation of others.

A triune God would call us to converse with him . . . because he wants to share the joy he has. Prayer is our way of entering into the happiness of God himself.

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

If you want God's grace, all you need is need, all you need is nothing.

A Christian is one who stops working to be saved, not one who stops working!

To stay away from Christianity because part of the Bible’s teaching is offensive to you assumes that if there is a God he wouldn’t have any views that upset you. Does that belief make sense? If you don’t trust the Bible enough to let it challenge and correct your thinking, how could you ever have a personal relationship with God? In any truly personal relationship, the other person has to be able to contradict you.
