Salvation has absolutely nothing to do with human merit and absolutely everything to do with divine mercy.

Passionate worship always leads to personal witness. Always. And what that means is . . . if we’re not witnessing, there’s a problem with our worship. We’re not seeing God for who He is! We’re not realizing what He’s done! We’re not realizing the magnitude of what He’s done for our souls!

We have a master who deserves radical sacrifice.

Do you and I believe him (Christ) enough to obey him and to follow him wherever he leads, even when the crowds in our culture - and maybe in our churches - turn the other way?...For the sake of an increasingly marginalized and relatively ineffective church in our culture, I want to risk it all. For the sake of my life, my family, and the people who surround me, I want to risk it all.

Saturate your preaching with the gospel in the church, so that you people speak gospel in the world.

While the goal of the American dream is to make much of us, the goal of the gospel is to make much of God.

Privatized faith in a resurrected Christ is practically inconceivable.
