Andy Stanley Quotes

It is possible for someone who does not know Jesus to be saved.

These values have given a renewed sense of worth to our lives. They are infusing America with confidence and optimism that many thought we had lost.

As a Christian, I begin to comprehend what life is all about through belief in a Creator, some of whose nature was revealed by a man born about 2000 years ago.

God is not a miser with his grace. Your cup may be low in cash or clout, but it is overflowing with mercy.
