Nothing will change the world more powerfully than the love of Christ shared with a world that so desperately needs it.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

Even a small light holds back darkness and a group of small lights can banish it completely.

Merely attending church doesn’t make you much of a church because sitting in a row, consuming church doesn’t make you very good at being the church.

If the wrongdoer has to do something to merit mercy, then it isn’t mercy.

By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.

You can’t build the future of the church on passionless, disengaged people. Nor can you build it on consumers.

The difference between humanity and all the rest of creation is that men and woman were made to relate directly with God.

Genuine spiritual knowledge lies in the union of the believer’s life with the truth of God.

To exist without the pursuit of God’s mission in the world is to exist as something other than the church.
