[Jesus said] 'I am the resurrection and the life ... Do you believe this?' This is a canyon question which makes sense only during an all-night vigil or in the stillness of smoke-filled waiting rooms.

And we are forced to see him for what he claims to be: our only hope. Max Lucado

There is a big difference between mishearing and hearing only what we want to hear, right? We, the people of God, seem to have chronic 'itching ears,' and we can usually find somebody to scratch till we say 'Aaahh' (2 Tim. 4:3). Given the option, we will usually choose bigger barns to serve ourselves over bigger hearts to serve others (Luke 12:13-21). Scotty Smith

To be given words that one dare not speak, and to feel those words churning and boiling in the belly until one must speak them aloud, or die. To be despised, soon or late, by everyone except Adonai -- and to desire it so, while hating it. This is to be a prophet. Thom Lemmons
Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it. Maimonides
You're either part of the solution or part of the problem. Eldridge Cleaver
There is not one marriage in today's culture that is not vulnerable. Why? Because we've allowed the culture to seep into our souls. ...

Not only does the world not know how to divorce-proof its marriages, it is well on the way to making broken relationships the norm! Dr. Fred Lowery
A book is not harmless merely because no one is consciously offended by it. T. S. Eliot
It is not the uniqueness of 'Christianity' as a system that we defend, but the uniqueness of Christ. ... So, because in no other person but Jesus of Nazareth did God first become human (in his birth), then bear our sins (in his death), then conquer death (in his resurrection) and then enter his people (by his Spirit), he is uniquely able to save sinners. Nobody else has his qualifications. John R. W. Stott
It is human to think wisely and act in an absurd fashion. Anatole France

The truth is, living in agreement with God will bring His conviction when we are disobedient. Conviction may feel like a negative thing, but it's just as much a part of God as His smile. He is committed to making our lives work in Him, and He will use the strength and power of His conviction to let us know when we are outside His will. It may feel bad, but conviction is God at work in us. David Edwards
You are not an accident. Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. ... Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God. He thought of you first. It is not fate, nor chance, nor luck, nor coincidence that you are breathing this very moment. You are alive because God wanted to create you! Rick Warren
A man with outward courage dares to die. A man with inward courage dares to live. Lao-Tzu
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present. Unknown
In pursuit of happiness, the difficulty lies in knowing when you have caught up. R.H. Grenville
I'm not suggesting that we have the power to heal physical conditions with our human fingers. But I do believe there's a healing of the spirit that takes place when we touch others.

There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me. Thomas Jefferson
