"My home is in Heaven. I'm just traveling through this world."
"Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!"
"The hardest part of being a Christian is surrendering and that is where the real struggle happens. Once we have overcome our own desire to be elevated, our own desire to be recognized, our own desire to be independent and all those things that we value very much because we are Americans and we are part of this American culture. Once we have overcome that struggle then God can use us as a part of His body to accomplish what the body of Christ was left here to accomplish."
"When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not shouting 'I'm saved'. I'm whispering 'I get lost'. That is why I chose this way."
"We may know who we are or we may not. We may be Muslims, Jews or Christians but until our hearts become the mould for every heart we will see only our differences."

The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or a Mohammedan nation."
"God does not change - and neither does His love. He loved you before you were born... He loves you now... and He will love you forever."
"God may allow us at times to hit rock bottom, to show us He's the rock-at the bottom."
"I am a Christian, not because someone explained the nuts and bolts of Christianity, but because there were people willing to be nuts and bolts."
"To be Christians under the law of grace does not mean to wander unbridled outside the law, but to be engrafted in Christ, by whose grace we are free from the curse of the law, and by whose Spirit we have the law engraved upon our hearts."
"Should we not press it home upon our consciences that the sole object of our conversion was not the salvation of our own souls, but that we might become co-workers with our Lord and Master in the conversion of the world?"
"For in order for capitalism to work -- in order for it to produce a good and a stable society -- the traditional Christian virtues are essential."
"For Christians, as for all people of faith, reflection, meditation and prayer help us to renew ourselves in God's love, as we strive daily to become better people. The Christmas message shows us that this love is for everyone. There is no one beyond its reach."
"Legalistic remorse says, "I broke God's rules," while real repentance says, "I broke God's heart.""
"Different people call on [God] by different names: some as Allah, some as God, and others as Krishna, Siva, and Brahman. It is like the water in a lake. Some drink it at one place and call it 'jal', others at another place and call it 'pani', and still others at a third place and call it 'water'. The Hindus call it 'jal', the Christians 'water', and the Moslems 'pani'. But it is one and the same thing."
"The Lord was pleased to strengthen us, and remove all fear from us, and disposed our hearts to be as useful as possible."
"A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian."
