“JESUS ALWAYS VALUED RELATIONSHIPS OVER RULES, TRUTH OVER LAW, AND SERVANTHOOD OVER RELIGION. HE NEVER ALLOWED LEGALISM TO DISPLACE LOVE.”

“When I asked for your prayers,” he wrote in an early letter, “I didn’t mean to be vague about the need. I always pray that through whatever we produce (whatever we say and do) some word that is heard might ultimately be God’s word. That’s my main concern. All the others are minor compared to that.”

“People are illogical, unreasonable, and self- centered. Love them anyway. As Jesus was being crucified, he said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. After Jesus performed miracles of healing, his critics said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons” (Mark 3:22), but Jesus continued to heal the sick and drive out demons.”
