The message of biblical Christianity is 'God loves me so that I might make him- his ways, his salvation, his glory, and his greatness- known among all nations.' Now God is the object of our faith, and Christianity centers around him. We are not the end of the gospel; God is'

God actually delights in exalting our inability. He intentionally puts his people in situations where they come face to face with their need for him.

The church I lead could have the least gifted people, the least talented people, the fewest leaders, and the least money, and this church under the power of the Holy Spirit could still shake the nations for his glory.

When you come to Jesus, you don't come to get health, wealth and prosperity. You come to Jesus to get Jesus

My biggest fear, even now, is that I will hear Jesus' words and walk away, content to settle for less than radical obedience to Him.

This is the curse of superficial religion: the constant attempt to do outward things apart from inward transformation.

Christianity does not begin with our pursuit of Christ, but with Christ’s pursuit of us.
