Only in Jesus Christ do we see how the untamable, infinite God can become a baby and a loving Savior. On the cross we see how both the love and the holiness of God can be fulfilled at once.

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.

Everyone will be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavors, even the best, will come to naught. Unless there is God. If the God of the Bible exists, and there is a True Reality beneath and behind this one, and this life is not the only life, then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling, can matter forever.

If you love anything in this world more than God, you will crush that object under the weight of your expectations.

Prayer-though it is often draining, even an agony-is in the long term the greatest source of power that is possible.

God has become human. The absolute has become particular. The ideal has become real. The divine has taken up a human nature.

People only get in the afterlife what they have most wanted-either to have God as Savior and Master or to be their own Saviors and Masters.
