The most powerful life is the most simple life. The most powerful life is the life that knows where it's going, that knows where the source of strength is it is the life that stays free of clutter and happenstance and hurriedness.

I have some friends whose sermons are extremely practical - so practical that I can put them right to use. I'm trying to learn how to do that better but I don't think my approach or style really has changed in these 30 years. Whether that's good or bad I don't know, but I don't think it has.

There is a rawness and a wonder to life. Pursue it. Hunt for it. Sell out to get it. Don't listen to the whines of those who have settled for a second-rate life and want you to do the same so they won't feel guilty. Your goal is not to live long it's to live.

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.

Be less about protecting any type of identity affiliated to a country or even ethnic background. Be more about the fact that we're here for a short time and Heaven is going to be a rainbow of people, multiculture, every generation.

I think what happens is that we're so busy as pastors that we never get around to trying to turn that material into a book. It's a shame because there is so much good material out there that needs to be published.
