“Jesus rejoices in even the smallest gifts to His children.”

“Jesus came to give us life. We don't have to hang on a cross like he did. For him, it was a sacrifice. For us, it is a gift.”

“When we think of our family, our spouse, parents, or children, let us see them as a gift from God.”

“Christianity is anything but safe. Jesus made clear that trouble and persecution stood in the future for His followers.”

“Then I read that Jesus was a friend of sinners. This still bothers me. Not because Jesus was a friend of sinners (because that came in really handy in my case). It bothered me because if I'm trying to live like Jesus, that means I'm supposed to be a friend of sinners too.”

“Church wasn't designed by an architect (Technically, Jesus was a carpenter.). So why do we think of churches as buildings instead of groups of people who love Jesus?”

“Let us live not only to serve God ourselves; let us live to help our children and their children live for God.”
