"Creating planets didn't seem to be much of a problem for God. Neither was raising the dead. Nothing is too difficult for God to handle, but we won't see much proof of this until we actually ask him to handle it."

“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.”

“Full summary of Too Busy Not to Pray”

“The heart and soul of the Christian life is learning to hear God's voice and then developing the courage to do what he asks us to do.”
