The secret of the gospel is that we actually do more when we hear less about all we need to do for God and hear more about all that God has already done for us.

The next time someone tells you, "The Church is full of a bunch of hypocrites." You can respond, "You don't even know the half of it."

The Christian's comfort: I am not my own. I do not make my own rules or create my own identity. There is one who made me and can save me.

Everything before Jesus is preface. Everything after Jesus is appendix. Jesus is the story.

If you want to know God as your Father, you need to know Jesus Christ as your Savior.

Worldliness is whatever makes sin look normal and righteousness look strange.

The only chains God wants us to wear are the chains of righteousness--not the chains of hopeless subjectivism, not the shackles of risk-free living, not the fetters of horoscope decision making--just the chains befitting a bond servant of Christ Jesus. Die to self. Live for Christ. And then do what you want, and go where you want, for God's glory.
