Humility is honestly assessing ourselves in light of God’s holiness and our sinfulness.

A cross centered life is made up of cross centered days.

All gifts from God are intended to direct our attention to God and create fresh affection for God.

Before we can begin to see the cross as something done FOR us, leading us to faith and worship, we have to see it as something done BY us, leading us to repentance. Only the man or woman who is prepared to own his share in the guilt of the cross may claim his share in its grace.

If there's anything in life that we should be passionate about, it's the gospel. And I don't mean passionate only about sharing it with others. I mean passionate about thinking about it, dwelling on it, rejoicing in it, allowing it to color the way we look at the world. Only one thing can be of first importance to each of us. And only the gospel ought to be.

Sunday is the best day of the week because we celebrate the risen Christ of the cross in the local church, the dearest place on earth.

The biblical purpose of every conversation you have, in every personal interaction, is that they person who hears you will receive grace.
