I have been hearing, reading, and saying more of these little memorable quotations this semester, so here are some more for your investigation:
It is a story about God, too, whose name is not only Yahweh but also Immanuel, who will not leave his beloved creatures to their fates even when they defy him to his face or thrust a spear in his side.
If you've been up all night and cried until you have no more tears left in you--you will know that there comes in the end a sort of quietness, You feel as if nothing else was ever going to happen again.
It's a description, not a prescription.
When you reach out to grab God's sleeve, you are not able to hold on because you are strong. You are not able to hold on because you are smart. You are able to hold on because God is holding onto you, and God will never, never let you go.
In the Psalms, ideas rhyme rather than words.
God's grace does not nullify human responsibility; it enables people to obey.
So much of the Christian faith is not about teaching something new, but rather about reminding everyone of that which we already know.
When you're down to nothing, God is up to something.
Only when God is all you have left do you realize that God was all you ever really needed.
Life is a hell of a thing to happen to a person.
Don't preach to people what they want to hear; preach to them about what they will wish they had heard.
I tried to teach a congregation about chanting, and they just looked at me with big eyes. So now I just do it; they may not know what they are doing, but they do it anyway.
God Bless! =)
