Teenagers who do not go to church are adored by God, but they don't get to meet some of the people who love God back.

Her message was always the same: God loved the world, all evidence to the contrary, and we must not give up on God.

The good news is that God has such low standards, and reaches out to those of us who are often not lovable and offers us a chance to come back in from the storm of drama and toxic thoughts.

God's love is not the same as human love. [Our] love...is fraught with conditions, delusion, and judgment.

Sometimes - oh, just once in a blue moon-I resist being receptive to God's generosity, because I'm busy with a project and trying to manipulate Him or Her into helping me with it, or with getting my toys fixed or any major discomfort to pass. But God is not a banker or a bean counter. God gives us even more, which is so subversive. God just gives, to us, to you and me. I mean, look at us! Yikes. God keeps giving, forgiving, and inviting us back.

When we assume that God's love is based on our behavior we've set ourselves up for a devastating fall.

If you have accepted Christ, your sins have been washed away, and you have been born again into a new life through faith in the God-Man, Jesus Christ, who came to rescue this world.

The life of Jesus Christ is a message of hope, a message of mercy, a message of life in a dark world.

The eternal salvation of a single soul is more important than anything else you will ever achieve in life.

God is infinitely valuable. I can't think of anything that would have a greater impact on your life than for you to believe that.

The only saving faith is that which casts itself on God for life or death.

In the Church, great wonders daily occur, such as the forgiveness of sins, triumph over death . . . the gift of righteousness and eternal life.
