In addition to an open heart and open mind, I also brought (to the small group Bible study) an open mouth.

To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.

It is not reputation, fame, success or religiosity that glorifies God, it's slavery.

All we need to release our inner God is a pulpit and an audience, both of which the Internet supplies in great abundance. Too bad that the corollaly to being in God mode in cyberspace is an explosion of narcissism and self-centeredness.

When we're constantly thinking about ourselves, our world shrinks.

The assumption is that if I expend myself for myself in the end all I’ll be left with is myself, and that alone is frightening. But what I’ve failed to consider is that I have to expend so much of myself living for myself that in the end I’m really left with very little of myself, and that is unimaginably frightening.

Sweet wine makes drunk, sour wine (insult) is 'tetelestai'. Life is not about what we have done and become, but how God to be fully glorified.

Religiousity is unself glory not purity.

There is nothing more irreligious than self-absorbed religion.

Big things in the glory of the world mean nothing. Small things in glory of God mean everything. Truly..., size doesn't matter in this world or in the world to come.
