We live in a culture where everyone wants to have his or her voice heard but has so little to say. And that's because we do so little listening, especially to God. The best way to get people to listen to us is for us to listen to God. Why? Because we'll have something to say that is worth hearing. Ultimately, all of us need to find our voice.

At some point, most of us stop living out of imagination and start living out of memory. Instead of creating the future, we start repeating the past. Instead of living by faith, we live by logic. Instead of going after our dreams, we stop circling Jericho. But it doesn't have to be that way.

True knowledge should not produce pride; it should produce humility...Because the more you know, the more you know how much you don't know.

We are overwhelmed with information and dying for wisdom.
