Think like a prophet, serve like a priest, and plan like a king.

Not everyone is your brother or sister in the faith, but everyone is your neighbor, and you must love your neighbor.

You can't live the Christian life without a band of Christian friends, without a family of believers in which you find a place.

Repentance is like antiseptic. You pour antiseptic onto a wound and, at first, it stings. Then it heals.

Hell is having to execute a pointless act from which nothing ever comes except the need to do it again.

Christ did not suffer so you wouldn’t suffer. He suffered so when you suffer you will become like Him.

When Jesus looked down from the cross, he didn't think “I am giving myself to you because you are so attractive to me.” No, he was in agony, and he looked down at us - denying him, abandoning him, and betraying him - and in the greatest act of love in history, he STAYED. He said, “Father, forgive them, they don't know what they are doing.” He loved us, not because we were lovely to him, but to make us lovely.
