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.

The Word of God and the Spirit of God are enough for the people of God to enjoy and spread the worship of God.

God's revelation is in the gospel not only reveals who He is, but it also reveals who we are.

We assume that our race simply deserves heaven; that God owes heaven to us unless we do something really bad to warrant otherwise.

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.

We bask in sermons, conferences, and books that exalt a grace centering on us.
