To fear the Lord is to be overwhelmed with wonder before the greatness of God and his love.

Prayer turns theology into experience.

Occasionally God rips aside the veil, and you begin to see this very fact: All things happen for you. All things. Everything is knit together.

There is no evil that the father’s love cannot pardon and cover, there is no sin that is a match for his grace.

God's grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver. From the earliest parts of the Bible, it was understood that God could not forgive without sacrifice. No one who is seriously wronged can “just forgive” the perpetrator.

Without immersion in God's words, our prayers may not be merely limited and shallow but also untethered from reality.

To take a person out of slavery takes an instant. To take slavery out of a person takes a process.
