The vaster the audience, the more vulnerable the people watching the media.
I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.
In today's society, looking good and feeling good often trumps doing good and being good. And some people don't know the difference anymore.
All religions are not the same. All religions do not point to God. All religions do not say that all religions are the same. At the heart of every religion is an uncompromising commitment to a particular way of defining who God is or is not and accordingly, of defining life's purpose. Anyone who claims that all religions are the same betrays not only an ignorance of all religions but also a caricatured view of even the best-known ones. Every religion at its core is exclusive.
When you come to religion, you come to a place. When you come to Jesus Christ, you come to a person.
God put enough into the world to make faith in Him a reasonable thing. But He left enough out to make it impossible to live by reason alone.
When your life is changed by Jesus, you are a new creature. God not only changes what you do, He also changes what you want to do.
Love is the greatest apologetic. It is the essential component in reaching the whole person in a fragmented world. The need is vast, but it is also imperative that we be willing to follow the example of Jesus and meet the need.
Everyone - pantheist, atheist, skeptic, polytheist - has to answer these questions: 'Where did I come from? What is life's meaning? How do I define right from wrong and what happens to me when I die?' Those are the fulcrum points of our existence.
There is no greater discovery than seeing God as the author of your destiny.
Love is hard work. It is the hardest work I know of, work from which you are never entitled to take a vacation.
When secularization has had its full sway, it will leave a generation devoid of shame. And if you show me a generation that lacks shame, I will show you a generation that is monstrous in its appetite... never satisfied.
There are so many needs in the world, and our hearts cannot carry them all. You must walk to the priorities God has set before you.
Unless I understand the Cross, I cannot understand why my commitment to what is right must be precedence over what I prefer.
