"There are a lot of people speaking the truth with no love, and there are a lot of people talking about love without much truth. And let's not get stuck in guilt. Most good things begin with a little guilt, but they never end there."
"I came to realize that preachers were telling me to lay my life at the foot of the cross, and weren't giving me anything to pick up."
"I had become a 'believer' but I had no idea what it means to be a follower. People had taught me what Christians believe, but no one had told me how Christians live."
"We have instituted ourselves from miracles. We no longer live with such reckless faith that we need them. There is rarely room for the transcendent in our lives. If we get sick, we go to a doctor. If we need food, we go to a store and buy it. We have eliminated the need for miracles. If we had enough faith to depend on God like the lilies and the sparrows do, we would see miracles. For is it not a miracle that the birds find enough worms each day?"
"We saw a homeless man lay a pack of cigarettes in the offering plate because it was all he had."
"In the poor we meet Jesus in the most distressing disguises."
"IT" that i previously spoke of, is only getting "BIGGER" ... thank God.
