The goal of prayer is not just the sharing of our ideas, but also of ourselves.

One of the most frequent responses I get from non-Christian readers is: 'I'm not sure I agree with all this, but I must say this is the first book I've read by a Christian that didn't treat me like I was an idiot.'

A lack of generosity refuses to acknowledge that your assets are not really yours, but God's.

Christianity does not set faith against thinking. It sets faith against assuming.

To pray is to accept that we are, and always will be, wholly dependent on God for everything.

If you can't show the difference between religion and the Gospel, people will confuse morality with a changed heart

We modern people think of miracles as the suspension of the natural order, but Jesus meant them to be the restoration of the natural order. The Bible tells us that God did not originally make the world to have disease, hunger, and death in it. Jesus has come to redeem where it is wrong and heal the world where it is broken. His miracles are not just proofs that he has power but also wonderful foretastes of what he is going to do with that power. Jesus' miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming.
