The word 'christian' means different things to different people. To one person it means a stiff, upright, inflexible way of life, colorless and unbending. To another it means a risky, surprised-filled adventure, lived tiptoe at the edge of expectation...If we get our information from the biblical material, there is no doubt that the Christian life is a dancing, leaping, daring life.

Worship is an act that develops feelings for God, not a feeling for God that is expressed in an act of worship.

Prayer is the disciplined refusal to act before God acts.

Worship does not satisfy our hunger for God; it whets our appetite.

No life of faith can be lived privately. There must be overflow into the lives of others.

You're here to be LIGHT... Shine! Be generous with your lives.

One way to define spiritual life is getting so tired and fed up with yourself you go on to something better, which is following Jesus.

The way of Jesus cannot be imposed or mapped — it requires an active participation in following Jesus as he leads us through sometimes strange and unfamiliar territory, in circumstances that become clear only in the hesitations and questionings, in the pauses and reflections where we engage in prayerful conversation with one another and with him.
