“If you let even a little sin into your heart, it's going to contaminate your prayers. Your Christian life will not achieve its full potential.”

“A key ingredient in authentic Christianity is time. Not leftover time, not throwaway time, but quality time. Time for contemplation, meditation and reflection. Unhurried, uninterrupted time.”

“A lot of spiritual gains come through pain, hurt, struggle, confusion and disappointment.”

“People who are serious about something always make room for it in their schedules. If prayer is important to you, then you'll find time to do it.”
