God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. You must take it. The only question is how.

Happiness comes from living the way the Lord wants you to live.

I have observed that radical faith is so convicting to doubters, the lukewarm, the halfhearted and the religious who have re-scripted the Bible in a way that requires them to live only in the realm of reason. The truth is, you have to either be the next one out of the boat or find some spiritual excuse to relieve your cowardliness.

I have come to believe that when we live in a way that requires miracles, we will start to see them.

The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what to hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope.

I try to live a faith-filled life. I'm a believer.

The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.

Limitations can be liberating when your strongest desire is living close to Me.

You get to an age when there are really just two reasons to get up in the morning — for goodness sake and for heaven's sake.
