Danny Silk quotes:

The First Goal of Conversation: Understanding, not Agreement

An old meaning of the word 'restoration' is to find someone with a royal bloodline who has been removed from the throne and then restore the person to that throne - to a position of honor.

Discipline works from the inside out, and punishment tries to work from the outside in.

Powerful people can love without being loved back.

No one else can steward the fire inside of you because only you are in charge of it.

In being vulnerable, we reach for our greatest need while risking our greatest pain.

Marriage isn't just a choice. It's choosing the same person a million times.

It's my job to manage my heart so that I can respond to you in love and cast out fear in our relationship.

Shame is removed through love.

If we don't know how to deal with sin then we don't know how to deal with people.

Every problem must find it's owner before we can ever offer a solution

Jesus literally sliced through years of rabbinical law and cultural norms with the extreme love of God that sees the treasure in every human heart.

Jesus defied all of these rules. He taught in the outer courts of the Temple so women could join the audience.

The difference between punishment and discipline is a powerful child.

Peace is not the absence of conflict it is authority over chaos.

This is because fear and love are enemies. They come from two opposing kingdoms. Fear comes from the devil, who would like nothing more than to keep you permanently disconnected and isolated. Love comes from God, who is always working to heal and restore your connection with Him and other people and bring you into healthy, life-giving relationships.

Powerful people do not try to control other people. They know it doesn't work, and that it's not their job. Their job is to control themselves.

One of the symptoms of being free is you begin to dream.

In order to be able to make and keep commitments... to enduring, intimate relationships... you need to be a certain kind of person. You need to be a powerful person. Powerful people take responsibility for their lives and choices. Powerful people choose who they want to be with, what they are going to pursue in life, and how they are going to go after it.

The more others encounter us honoring the boundaries we have set for our lives, the more they will know that they can trust us with their lives.

You have to embark on your own quest to discover why you are on this planet, what makes you get out of bed in the morning, and what you uniquely contribute to the world.

One of the reasons people perish without a vision is that they cannot endure the pain and cost required to achieve any worthwhile purpose.

Yes, it's vulnerable and scary to keep your love on toward someone who has become a perceived threat-you cannot guarantee what he or she is going to do. But you can guarantee your own choice. And you can always choose connection.

If you want to make a difference, then get good at doing something and not just talking about something
