Peace doesn't come from finding a lake with no storms. It comes from having Jesus in the boat.

The decision to grow always involves a choice between risk and comfort. This means that to be a follower of Jesus, you must renounce comfort as the ultimate value of your life.

Wise people build their lives around what is eternal and squeeze in what is temporary. Not the other way around.

I am the Raskolnikov of jerking off – the sticky evidence is everywhere!

Give. Giving affirms Christ's lordship. It dethrones me and exalts Him. It breaks the chains of mammon that would enslave me and transfers my center of gravity to Heaven.

I’m not a comedian, but I love the comedians who know when to get off the stage.
