“I once saw " radical" as selling everything I owned or starting a ministry or adopting children from across the ocean. These days I am redefining radical. I'm realizing that radical is sustained worship of God, against the grain of the world's distractions. It's staying in the game, looking at Him when no one is looking or applauding, or promoting us for it. Keeping my heart hungry for God in the middle minutes is radical.”

“we hold on so tightly to the good that we do know that we cannot receive the greater good that we do not know. God has to help us let go of our tiny vision in order to release the greater good he has in store for us.”
― Richard J. Foster, Prayer: Finding the Heart's True Home

“Every time I am ready to ride off on my high horse about this generation’s lack of commitment I have to face a stark reality: They learned that lack of commitment from my generation. They grew up with marital commitment that mainly meant “I am in until something better comes along.” Is it any wonder they think time commitments are not really binding? Each generation has it values and hierarchy of ideals. When those values clash, we want to run as fast as we can to the security of our own culture.”
― Fawn Parish, Living a Life that Outlives You

“For decades church leadership like myself have lost sight of the powerful mystery inherent in the Church and have instead run to other methods to keep people interested. In all honesty, we have trained you to become addicted to lesser things. We have cheapened something sacred, and we we must repent.”
― Francis Chan, Letters to the Church
