“Yet if someone says, ‘I want to go to Heaven to be with God forever,’ others wonder, ‘Wouldn’t that be boring?”  What are we thinking?  The very qualities we admire in others–every one of them–are true of God.  He’s the source of everything we find fascinating.  Who made Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart?  Who gave them their gifts?  Who created music itself and the ability to perform it?”  –Randy Alcorn, Heaven

" I see a host of things that were 'big' (and even effective) at one point in history, but after a period of time, they became less central to the Church and its mission: Cathedrals in Europe, Christian monasticism, traveling revival preachers, and the song 'Pharaoh Pharaoh' all come to mind."

I grew up with surf posters hanging on my walls: Curren, Slater, Occy. I watched them on TV, read about them in surfer mags, and breathed them in–every turn,every logo, every smile. Have they impacted the way I live my life today? A little, but they’re mostly just a piece of the past. But there is another type of mentor–one that stays with you. I’d like to be this type.You see, I’ve never had a picture of C.S. Lewis or my ninth grade history teacher or my dad hung up on my wall, but these men have had a significant impact on the way I live today.”   –Jon Foreman of Switchfoot, CCMMagazine.com
