If I can trust the word of a friend, why do I question the word of the God of the universe? Go figure. Sin is truly bizarre." [Running Scared, p. 111]

An ounce of faith can overcome a ton of fear.

Exercise your faith and you exorcise your fears.

A great storm is like a sunny day to a person of great faith. A gentle wind is like a great storm to a person of great fear.

Everyone must believe in something. I believe I'll go canoeing.

Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

I admire the serene assurance of those who have religious faith. It is wonderful to observe the calm confidence of a Christian with four aces.

If you experiment, you have to fail. By definition, experimenting means going to territory where you've never been, where failure is very possible. How can you know you're going to succeed? Having the courage to face the unknown is so important.

Talking about performance is such a strange thing because it's so immaterial. We are talking about soft matter. We are talking about something that is invisible. You can't see it. You can't touch it. You just can feel it.

Most God-ordained dreams die because we are not willing to do something that seems illogical.

Second-degree faith is resurrection faith. It's a faith that refuses to put periods at the end of disappointments. It's a faith that believes that God can reverse the irreversible.

Faith is the willingness to look foolish.
