Religion is intended to facilitate hope and faith. Much like a path is intended to facilitate a journey.

There is a time for risky love. There is a time for extravagant gestures. There is a time to pour out your affections on one you love. And when the time comes - seize it, don't miss it.

Pastoring the flock with words. I love that. We always have a prayer time in the middle of our service. We take about eight or ten minutes before I preach, after we've sung, and invite people to come forward for prayer. That's a tender moment to me. I don't preach much in that, but I like to speak to the people.

I think there is, not in the sense that I enjoy it, but that it's an important question. It's the question, Does the presence of pain mean God doesn't care? Does God not love me anymore? I think that's a very common connection we tend to make. I see that a lot in my own life and in the lives of others.

The Christmas message itself is that God chooses common people to do the most uncommon things. No matter how common you are, and no matter how simple you are, God has a plan and ability to come into our world and do something unusual.

Grace is God as heart surgeon, cracking open your chest, removing your heart - poisoned as it is with pride and pain - and replacing it with his own.

Give your problems to Christ before your problems get to you.

What I may intend for a story to communicate and what a story ends up communicating could be two different things. And it could be an even more positive thing.

The same hand that stilled the seas stills your guilt. The same hand that cleansed the Temple cleanses your heart. The hand is the hand of God. The nail is the nail of God. And as the hands of Jesus opened for the nail, the doors of heaven opened for you.

Jesus gives us hope because He keeps us company, has a vision and knows the way we should go.

I firmly believe that the purpose of life is not this life. It is to equip us, whatever our role is going to be in the next life. And understanding God's story is really where I find the significance and purpose in my own story.

When I was a young kid, my dad, a man of few words, told my brother and me, Boys, Christmas is about Jesus. I thought about what he said, and I began asking the Christmas questions. I've been asking them ever since. I love the answers I've found.

I think it's noteworthy that the Almighty didn't act high and mighty. The Holy One wasn't holier-than-thou. The One who knew it all wasn't a know-it-all. The One who made the stars didn't keep his head in them. The One who owns all the stuff of earth never strutted it.
