If our lives do not reflect radical compassion for the poor, there is reason to wonder if Christ is really in us at all

We can so easily deceive ourselves, mistaking the presence of physical bodies in a crowd for the existence of spiritual life in a community.

We live in a church culture that has a dangerous tendency to disconnect the grace of God from the glory of God. Our hearts resonate with the idea of enjoying God's grace. We bask in sermons, conferences, and books that exalt a grace centering on us. And while the wonder of grace is worthy of our attention, if that grace is disconnected from its purpose, the sad result is a self-centered Christianity that bypasses the heart of God.

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

It's important to realize that we adopt not because we are rescuers. No. We adopt because we are rescued.

The most glorious reason you exist is for the proclamation of the glory of God to the ends of the world. And it's more than having a nice life.

The resources of heaven are ready and waiting for the people of God who desire to make much of him in this world
