“To follow Christ requires a downward career track that does not depend on dollars or status. Instead, what matters is Christ.”

“Christ has not called us to be popular, but to be faithful. We are not saved to be relevant to the crowds; we are saved to reflect Christ.”

“[God's] love for us was displayed most clearly through the cross of Christ. There our Lord stretched out His bloodstained hands to say, "I love you this much!”

“In our modern world, we often separate faith from practice. But the way of Jesus rejects this notion. Only living our faith offers the credibility to teach our faith. Anything less is less that the teachings of Christ.”

“When we first come to faith in Christ, we often think it was simply of our own choosing. Only later do we realize we would have never taken that step of faith apart from His grace drawing us near to Him.”

“We must not simply desire God; we must live in total dependence.”

“Atheism is not a matter of the mind; it is a matter of the heart.”
