“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.”

“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.”

“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?”

“Many overlook the fact that Jesus was homeless. He did not only teach the poor; He lived among them.”

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

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

“When others doubt the power of Jesus, be the one who asks Him to perform the impossible. He often will.”
