“Vocation is the place where our deep gladness meets the world's deep need.”

“The place to which God calls you is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.”

“The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”

“The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's hunger meet. ”

“Words spoken in deep love or deep hate set things in motion in the human heart that can never be reversed”

“Sin and grace, absence and presence, tragedy and comedy, they divide the world between them and where they meet head on, the Gospel happens.”

“It is a world of magic and mystery, of deep darkness and flickering starlight. It is a world where terrible things happen and wonderful things too. It is a world where goodness is pitted against evil, love against hate, order against chaos, in a great struggle where often it is hard to be sure who belongs to which side because appearances are endlessly deceptive. Yet for all its confusion and wildness, it is a world where the battle goes ultimately to the good, who live happily ever after, and where in the long run everybody, good and evil alike, becomes known by his true name....That is the fairy tale of the Gospel with, of course, one crucial difference from all other fairy tales, which is that the claim made for it is that it is true, that it not only happened once upon a time but has kept on happening ever since and is happening still.”
