God is on the move to rescue people from misery to everlasting happiness, which can only be found in him.

Christ did not die to make good works merely possible or to produce a half-hearted pursuit. He died to produce in us a passion for good deeds. Christian purity is not the mere avoidance of evil, but the pursuit of good.

It's amazing how many introverts go into the ministry. It's amazing how many people go into the ministry who don't really like to be with people.

So you can see what is happening in the New Testament. Worship is being significantly deinstitutionalized, delocalized, de-externalized. The whole thrust is being taken off of ceremony and seasons and places and forms and is being shifted to what is happening in the heart - not just on Sunday but every day and all the time in all of life.

Adjust your doctrine - or just minimize doctrine - to attract the world, and in the very process of attracting them, lose the radical truth that alone can set them free.

God wills to be displayed and known and loved and cherished and worshiped.

Life is precarious, and life is precious. Don't presume you will have it tomorrow, and don't waste it today.
