I confess to you guys, I confess to the church, I know I have backed away from certain things because of my arrogance. I thought I could attract more people to Jesus by hiding certain things about him.

[at CMC West Coast 2011, on 1 Samuel 14] If just a few of you would step up and be like Jonathan ... as you step out in faith, you know what's going to happen?

Because when you’re wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?

...we are quick to rationalize our entertainment and priorities yet are slow to commit to serving God.

...when we are loving, we can't sin.
