“Serving your enemies is the fastest way to learn to love them.”
― Will Davis Jr., 10 Things Jesus Never Said: And Why You Should Stop Believing Them

“Love may challenge and love may correct but love will never shame. Love may call us out to uncomfortable places but love will never cast us aside. Love may demand but will never demean. Love will never ask us to dim our light lest we shine too brightly. Love will never ask us to be less than we were created to be.

By this we know God. By this we follow Jesus. By this we serve one another.

Love.
Not fear.”
― Peggy Haymes, Strugglers, Stragglers and Seekers: daily devotions for the rest of us

“A faithful servant may be wiser than the master, and yet retain the true spirit and posture of the servant. The humble man looks upon every, the feeblest and unworthiest, child of God, and honors him and prefers him in honor as the son of a King.”
― Andrew Murray, Humility: The Journey Toward Holiness – Classic Devotional Meditations on the Character of Christ for Easter 2026

“But the fact is that the gospel demands everything of all of us. If someone thinks the gospel has slotted into their life quite easily, without causing any major adjustments to their lifestyle or aspirations, it is likely that they have not really started following Jesus at all.”
― Sam Allberry, Is God Anti-gay?: And Other Questions About Homosexuality, the Bible, and Same-Sex Attraction
