Out of the cross comes the resurrection. Out of weakness comes real strength.

The world values power, comfort, success, and recognition. Jesus frees us to value grief, sacrifice, weakness, and exclusion.

Freedom is not the absence of limitations and constraints but it is finding the right ones, those that fit our nature and liberate us.

Prayer is awe before an infinite force, and yet it's intimacy with a personal friend.

Humility is so shy. If you begin talking about it, it leaves.

Falling in love in a Christian way is to say,'I am excited about your future and I want to be part of getting you there. I'm signing up for the journey with you. Would you sign up for the journey to my true self with me? It's going to be hard but I want to get there.

In every other religion the indicative flows from the imperative. Which means, ‘because I do, therefore I am... because I do this, therefore I’m a child of God.’ But only in Christianity does the imperative flow from the indicative. ‘Because I am in Christ all these things, therefore I obey.’ Exactly the opposite.
