“As Dietrich Bonhoeffer put it: ‘The church is herself only when she exists for humanity.… She must take her part in the social life of the world, not lording it over men, but helping and serving them. She must tell men, whatever their calling, what it means to live in Christ, to exist for others.’” (Page 31)
“I have begun to see that worship and intercession are far more the business of aligning myself with God’s purposes than asking Him to align with mine.” (Page 22)
“His son was hurt and fighting to complete the race. So the father came to help him” (Page 72)
“Don’t go to Scripture looking for your idea, go searching for his.” (Page 6)
