Just as worship begins in holy expectancy, it ends in holy obedience. If worship does not propel us into greater obedience, it has not been worship.

The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.

When we genuinely believe that inner transformation is God's work and not ours, we can put to rest our passion to set others straight.

Joy, not grit, is the hallmark of holy obedience. We need to be light-hearted in what we do to avoid taking ourselves too seriously. It is a cheerful revolt against self and pride.

Worship begins in holy expectancy, it ends in holy obedience.

Stop trying to impress people with your clothes and impress them with your life.

Of all spiritual disciplines prayer is the most central because it ushers us into perpetual communion with the Father.

Because we lack a divine Center our need for security has led us into an insane attachment to things.

Loneliness is inner emptiness. Solitude is inner fulfillment.

Simplicity is the only thing that sufficiently reorients our lives so that possessions can be genuinely enjoyed without destroying us.

Worship is our response to the overtures of love from the heart of the Father.

How tragic it is to find that an entire lifetime is wasted in pursuit of distractions while purpose is neglected.

.....if he’s not man enough to stand up to your father, and take the crap he has to dish out, then he’s not good enough to be with you.

We must first peer into the darkness, feel strangled and entombed in the hopelessness of living without God, before we are ready to feel the presence of His living light.

Don't try to write to the trend of the moment.

You must master your time rather than becoming a slave to the constant flow of events and demands on your time. And you must organize your life to achieve balance, harmony, and inner peace.

When love is the trend, there is no room for violence and war.

As man's faculty attains higher level of development and sophistication, so do his wants in life

I have a thought for Nicolas Sarkozy, you know my loyalty on his account, but I profess it too for Jacques Chirac.

I don't think there's anything wrong with singing a song and having fun with it.

I like to create what I call 'tablescapes.' It's so much more fun when you organize your table around a theme, don't you think?
