Alex [Kendrick] and I started out the whole film-making journey as a desire to reach people for Christ and try to impact their lives for him.

The only way love can last a lifetime is if it's unconditional. The truth is this: love is not determined by the one being loved but rather by the one choosing to love.

There must be a stronger foundation than mere friendship or sexual attraction. Unconditional love, agape love, will not be swayed by time or circumstances.

Almost every sinful action ever committed can be traced back to a selfish motive. It is a trait we hate in other people but justify in ourselves.

The only way love can last a lifetime is if it’s unconditional.

Get in God's word every day. God's word equips us for everything we do.

You must choose to live by enouragement rather than by expectations.

Too often, parents force their kids into becoming something they want them to become rather than trying unpack the treasure chest God wants them to become.

If I'm doing something as an offering unto the Lord, I want to give God my best.

Excellence means representing the reputation of Christ well. It means doing all things as best as you can...

I'm not trying to force something, but I do enjoy working behind the scenes and I do enjoy bringing all of the ingredients to the kitchen so that we can make the movie.

You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.

The gift of life is the most valuable wealth.

I was not a hypocrite, with one real face and several false ones. I had several faces because I was young and didn't know who I was or wanted to be.

All I really need to know... I learned in kindergarten.

Love letters lack taste. No restraint: falling off cliffs, going up in flames.

It is not the actual enjoyment of pleasure that we desire. What we want is to test the futility of that pleasure, so as to be no longer obsessed by it.

You emerge from tragedy equipped against lies. After the musical, you're anybody's fool

every act of one's life is the unavoidable result of every act that has preceded it.

I can change a light fixture, and I can do certain things. But I'm really bad in terms of construction. I can't do any of it on my own.

I used to be terribly shy, so I was either shy or over the top, and I always had a difficult time.
