John Ortberg

If you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat.
John Ortberg
If we do not become changed from the inside-out - if we don't morph - we will be tempted to find external methods to satisfy our need to feel that we're different from those outside the faith. If we cannot be transformed, we will settle for being informed or conformed.
John Ortberg
