“The goal of our lives should be nothing less that becoming so familiar with the "mind of Christ" that we could write Jesus' speeches.”
Clare De Graaf, The 10-Second Rule: Following Jesus Made Simple

“[The Rule:] Just do the next thing you're reasonably certain Jesus wants you to do.”
Clare De Graaf, The 10-Second Rule: Following Jesus Made Simple

“As I stood behind you, I sensed that God was telling me to pay for your groceries, so I did. Simple as that.”
Clare De Graaf

“There is something inside me, some selfish beast of a subtle thing that doesn't like truth at all because it carries responsibility.”
Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

“In our day heaven and earth are on tiptoe waiting for the emerging of a Spirit-led, Spirit-empowered people. All of creation watches expectantly for the springing up of a disciplined, freely gathered, martyr people who know in this life the power of the kingdom of God.”
Richard Foster
