Believing in the Jesus of the Bible makes life risky on a lot of levels because it is absolute surrender of every decision we make, every dollar we spend, our lives belong to another.

God involves us in his mission not because he needs us but because he loves us.

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.

To be a Christian is to realize that in your sin, you were separated from God's presence, and you deserved nothing but God's wrath.

A materialistic world will not be won to Christ by a materialistic church.

In our evil we rebel against God. We take the law of God, written in his Word and on our hearts, and we disobey it.

We live in a church culture that has a dangerous tendency to disconnect the grace of God from the glory of God.
