“I’m looking for a second reformation. The first reformation of the church 500 years ago was about beliefs. This one is going to be about behavior. The first one was about creeds. This one is going to be about deeds. It is not going to be about what does the church believe, but about what is the church doing.”

“You didn’t create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for! If I handed you an invention you had never seen before, you wouldn’t know it’s purpose, and the invention itself wouldn’t be able to tell you either. Only the creator or the owner’s manual could reveal it’s purpose.”

“La Biblia usa el término corazón para describir el manojo de deseos, esperanzas, intereses, ambiciones, sueños y afectos que posees, en fin, tus oportunidades. Tu corazón es la fuente de todas tus motivaciones, lo que amas hacer y lo que más cuidas. Aun hoy usamos la palabra de esta manera cuando decimos: «Te amo con todo mi corazón».”

“Our culture says, “If you don’t own it, you won’t take care of it.” But Christians live by a higher standard: “Because God owns it, I must take the best care of it that I can.” The Bible says, “Those who are trusted with something valuable must show they are worthy of that trust.”
