Things like radical generosity and audacious faith are not produced when we focus on them, but when we focus on the gospel.

We may not be worthy to be forgiven, but He is worthy to forgive us.

When we realize how great a debt we owe to God, we become willing servants, eager to be poured out for God and His Kingdom.

In a post-Christian, skeptical age, love on display is the most convincing apologetic.

Surveys show that more than 50 percent of people in the U.S. have prayed the sinner's prayer and think they're going to heaven because of it even though there is no detectable difference in their lifestyles from those outside of the church. On this issue- the most important issue on earth- we have to be absolutely clear. We need to preach salvation by repentance before God and faith in the finished work of Christ.

Awe combined with intimacy is the essence of Christian worship.
