“Suffering is not a problem that needs a solution as much as it is an experience that needs compassion.”

“Now the word ‘serve’ may have 26 meanings in the English dictionary, and we can make it mean anything I suppose. In the Hebrew it means to work for a master as a bondservant. It is important for us to keep in mind that serving means that we are not directing or dictating, but rather we are submitting to a master...

The problem with many Christians today is that they want to tell God how they are going to serve as well as the conditions of their serving. This is not acceptable as far as God is concerned. God is my owner and serving Him means I recognize His ownership and I am completely in allegiance to Him, nobody else.”

“If I was saved by my good works, then there would be a limit to what God could ask of me or put me through, I would be like a tax payer with rights, I would have done my duty, and now I would deserve a certain quality of life. But if I am a sinner saved by sheer grace, then there is nothing he cannot ask of me.”

“Live everyday like you're terminal, because you are. Live everyday like your soul is eternal, because it is!”
