The resurrection is not merely important to the historic Christian faith; without it, there would be no Christianity. It is the singular doctrine that elevates Christianity above all other world religions.

Paul spoke about the root of faith (Eph 2:8). James spoke about the fruit of faith (Jm 2:17-18).

The church is not the way to heaven; the church is the sign that points to heaven.

You can laugh your way into hell but not out.

It’s what you sow that multiplies, not what you keep in the barn.

God only wants for us what we would want for ourselves if we were smart enough to want it.

I wouldn’t trust the best fifteen minutes I ever lived to get me into heaven.
