The idea of holding back certainly didn't come from Scripture.

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.

God has allowed hard things in your life so you can show the world that your God is great and that knowing Him brings peace and joy, even when life is hard.

God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.

Life is about Jesus. We are not here to tell our story, but His.

Don't fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.

The whole creative process...is putting opposites together into something that wasn't there before.

I can't think of a man more worthy of the presidency then my good friend Sam Nunn.

We have a rotting infrastructure that is literally poisoning children in Flint, Newark and elsewhere.

The Galilean is not a favorite of mine. So far from owing him any thanks for his favor, I cannot avoid confessing that I owe a secret grudge to his carpentership.

I was so cold I almost got married.

People are always surprised by how much I love to eat. I guess I don't look like I eat that much, but I can put it away.
