Jesus experienced homelessness at Christmas so that we could experience a love we could never lose.

I have long profited from Adele Ahlberg Calhoun's gifts in the field of spiritual development, and I am delighted that she has compiled her experience with spiritual disciplines into book form. I highly recommend it and I look forward to using it as a resource at our church.

In the church we have to deliberately let ourselves be transparent and accountable to others. We're a family.

The primary means-of-reviva l that everyone agrees upon is extraordinary prayer.

There are some needs only you can see. There are some hands only you can hold. There are some people only you can reach.

Only if you first seek inner forgiveness will your confrontation be temperate, wise, and gracious. Only when you have lost the need to see the other person hurt will you have any chance of actually bringing about change, reconciliation, and healing. You have to submit to the costly suffering and death of forgiveness if there is going to be any resurrection.

Only on the cross do you have a totally holy God and a totally loving God.
