Quotes

  • Faith is stepping out into the unknown with nothing to guide us but a hand just beyond our grasp.
  • 'Lord, I believe; help my unbelief' is the best any of us can do really, but thank God it is enough.
  • And now brothers, I will ask you a terrible question, and God knows I ask it also of myself. Is the truth beyond all truths, beyond the stars, just this: that to live without him is the real death, that to die with him the only life?
  • If you have never known the power of God's love, then maybe it is because you have never asked to know it - I mean really asked, expecting an answer.
  • With words as valueless as poker chips, we play games whose object it is to keep us from seeing each other’s cards.
  • Life is grace. Sleep is forgiveness. The night absolves. Darkness wipes the slate clean, not spotless to be sure, but clean enough for another day's chalking.
