Love is a virtue and not a feeling. It is fed and fired by God- not by the favorable response of the beloved. Even when it doesn't seem to make a dime's worth of difference to the ones on whom it is lavished, it is still the most prized of all virtues because it is at the heart of the very character of God.
Let people see your struggles and don't ever fake it.
We do not find happiness by being assertive. We don't find happiness by running over people because we see what we want and they are in the way of that happiness so we either abandon them or we smash them. The Scriptures don't teach us to be assertive. The Scriptures teach us—and this is remarkable—the Scriptures teach us to be submissive. This is not a popular idea.
It's just that for so many people that I know, Christianity's this matter of ... it has everything to do with morals. Christianity is a religion about morals. And they will even talk about Jesus. And they will say kids need to know about Jesus so they won't smoke, drink, or dance, or go with girls that do, and all that kind of thing. And I kinda go, 'That's not why people need to know about Jesus. The only reason--The only possible excuse for talking about Jesus is because we need a Savior.'
What I like about the Bible is that it doesn't make sense, which makes it more like truth than anything else I've ever read.
If your life is motivated by your ambition to leave a legacy, what you'll probably leave as a legacy is ambition.
Faith without works is like a song you can't sing. It's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine.
We were given the Scriptures to humble us into realizing that God is right, and the rest of us are just guessing.
I can't see how You're leading me unless you've led me here, where I'm lost enough to let myself be led.
It always cracks me up when people try to impress God, because people don't have to impress God. He's already knocked out by you.
If you can't be good, be loud.
I think my parents were really smart parents. I think they were, actually, pretty progressive for the time. The one thing that they really wanted me to know is what makes me tick, what I am about, how I approach life. And I think what my parents really wanted for me was for me to be who I am.
Deliver us from evil - from moral duplicity and weakness, from laziness and spiritual complacency, from those lies we tell ourselves from our fear of facing the truth.
The best that can happen is that someone can catch a glimpse of the glory you're hinting at.
