All around you
All around you, people will be tiptoeing through life, just to arrive at death safely. But dear children, do not tiptoe. Run, hop, skip, or dance, just don’t tiptoe. — Shane Claiborne

The gospel is absurd and the life of Jesus is meaningless unless we believe that He lived, died, and rose again with but one purpose in mind: to make brand-new creation. — Brennan Manning
We were given the Scriptures
We were given the Scriptures to humble us into realizing that God is right, and the rest of us are just guessing. — Rich Mullins
In our world
In our world, where hundreds of things distract us from God, we have to intentionally and consistently remind ourselves of Him. — Francis Chan
