"God will answer you prayers better than you think. Of course, one will not always get exactly what he has asked for....We all have sorrows and disappointments, but one must never forget that, if commended to God, they will issue in good....His own solution is far better than any we could conceive."

"Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul."

"Being the light of the world is about being a broken, exploding, scarred star and shining a light of hope and inspiration to everyone around you."

"You can actually create the life you want. It all depends on how daring you desire it."

"As fallible humans, we usually slip too far over one edge or the other - all wrath and judgment or all grace and love."

"We are the sum total of the decisions we have made."

"So they finally gave you the license to kill, about time."

"If your heart takes more pleasure in reading novels, or watching TV, or going to the movies, or talking to friends, rather than just sitting alone with God and embracing Him, sharing His cares and His burdens, weeping and rejoicing with Him, then how are you going to handle forever and ever in His presence...? You'd be bored to tears in heaven, if you're not ecstatic about God now!"

"Christian faith is... basically about love and being loved and reconciliation. These things are so important, they're foundational and they can transform individuals, families."

"God does not patch up the old life,or make certain repairs on the old life;He gives a new life, through the new birth."

"I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself."

"From the pastor who has an affair with his secretary, to the jerk at the office who happens to be a deacon, to the overbearing boss who can’t miss his Monday night Bible study, Christians today cause more problems for the gospel than all the devil’s demons put together."

"Well and good if all things change, O Lord God, provided I am rooted in You."

"When you cultivate a godly thought life your soul will shine and you will exhibit the presence of the Lord in you."

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved."

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it."

"Not all dreamers are winners, but all winners are dreamers. Your dream is the key to your future. The Bible says that, "without a vision (dream), a people perish."You need a dream, if you're going to succeed in anything you do."

"I mean that the reason God seems to act in ways that make no sense to us is that our perceptions are wrong. Our expectations are subtly twisted. We long for things that harm us and run from the things that grow and heal us. We think good is bad and bad is good. God acts rightly, but to us, it seems confusing. Or sometimes plain wrong."

"No matter how hard it is, or how hard it gets, don't ever, ever, ever lose hope!"

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."
