Important reminder: It's not fair of you to demand more proof of Christians for their beliefs than you demand for your own.

Prayer can be simple, but it's not easy. Nothing great is.

You should not begin to pray for all you want until you realize that in God you have all you need.

The church is not a museum for pristine saints, but a hospital ward for broken sinners.

As many have learned and later taught, you don't realize Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have.
