I am convinced that real community flows out of right relationship with God and not that right relationship with God flows out of right community.

Our attempts to trust others will often be frustrated, but that's because God never wanted us to trust others. He wanted us to love others but to trust him alone.

The fruit of the Spirit is not what we can make ourselves do for a moment, But what God makes us to be for a lifetime.

The sad truth is that most Christians spend their entire lives trying to score points with Someone who is not keeping score.

There is no one that God does not love with all that he is. His love reaches beyond every sin and failure, hoping that at some moment they will come to know just how loved they are.

The fact that you don't feel Him [God] holding you doesn't change the fact that He still is.

Change is uncomfortable and awkward at first. It has a ripping effect on those who refuse to go along with it. It is not fixed by crying, or worrying, or wallowing in self-pity and mental anguish.

Our photographs are our best proof to others that we lived the things we lived in the past!

Death is the ugly fact which Nature has to hide, and she hides it well.

For us, destiny always feels... if you obey, it's almost a passive thing.

I made the decision to keep putting one foot in front of the other, and looking back that was a really stupid decision

Carry laughter with you wherever you go.

Authority is always built on service and sacrifice.

Mars, when guilty of homicide, and set free from the charge of murder by the Athenians through favour, lest he should appear to be too fierce and savage, committed adultery with Venus.

I prefer to make a mistake because I am too kind than to perform miracles without any kindness.
