"Jesus was a poor, black man who lived in a country and who lived in a culture that was controlled by rich white people. The Romans were Italian - which means they were Europeans, which means they were white - and the Romans ran everything in Jesus' country."
"Jesus Christ was an extremist for love, truth and goodness."
"The suffering of this life not only can make our temperament more like the Divine Personality of Jesus, but it detaches us from this world. This Divine preparation opens our souls to the working and pruning of the Father."

"For all of us, we put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He's in our boat. And when those storms come and those waves (of life) come, He's in the boat with us."
"The only way to break the chains of fear and doubt is to know in your heart that God loves you-no matter what."
"Jesus is not your accuser. He’s not your prosecutor. He’s not your judge. He’s your friend and your rescuer. Like Zacchaeus, just spend time with Jesus. Don’t hide from him in shame or reject him in self-righteousness. Don’t allow the opinions of other people to shape your concept of him. Get to know him for yourself, and let the goodness of God change you from the inside out."
"Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot."
"The question is never ‘Are you in a storm?’ The question is ‘Is Jesus in your boat?’"
"Are you struggling with sin? You don’t need more will power. You need more of Jesus."
"He (Jesus) knew that the old eye-for-eye philosophy would leave everyone blind. He did not seek to overcome evil with evil. He overcame evil with good. Although crucified by hate, he responded with aggressive love."
"Only the man who follows the command of Jesus single-mindedly, and unresistingly lets his yoke rest upon him, finds his burden easy, and under its gentle pressure receives the power to persevere in the right way. The command of Jesus is hard, unutterably hard, for those who try to resist it. But for those who willingly submit, the yoke is easy, and the burden is light."
"Had the doctrines of Jesus been preached always as pure as they came from his lips, the whole civilized world would now have been Christians."
