Our relationship with Jesus is based on grace- on the unexpected, undeserved, counterintuitive love of God.

Jesus doesn't adjust to us, and He doesn't submit to our whims. We adjust to Jesus and submit to Him. Jesus is King, not an accessory.

To accept Jesus is to accept His total authority in your life.

His self-righteousness has prevented him from enjoying the grace all around him.

What could be more encouraging than realizing that Jesus calls the unqualified?

Whether through an outwardly prideful life of breaking the rules or an inwardly prideful life of keeping the rules, we are people who have sought to avoid Jesus and run our own lives.

Jesus offers undeserved love, a love we don't deserve and can therefore never lose.

There is grace for the unrighteous and the self-righteous alike, and the father loves both sons well.

Good times don’t last and bad times don’t stay forever.

I will learn by screwing up.

If you're good, you'll be recognized. Because people, even if they're prejudiced, are going to want the best. You just have to make being the best your goal in life.

The reason that I keep writing is that all my most powerful messages about the fates of wild places that I care about need to have words as well as images

Facts as facts do not always create a spirit of reality, because reality is a spirit.

The abundance of fruit comes out of intimacy with the Lord.

Human action is purposeful behavior.

Life is merely a fraction of a second. An infinitely small amount of time to fulfill our desires, our dreams, our passions.

Remember there is plenty of room at the top-but not enough to sit down.
