Expecting perfection from ourselves or others is not what holiness is about.

Sooner could a fish live upon a tree than the wicked in Paradise.

If the gospel is old news to you, it will be dull news to everyone else.

My fear is that of all the choices people face today, the one they rarely consider is, "How can I serve most effectively and fruitfully in the local church?" I wonder if the abundance of opportunities to explore today is doing less to help make well-rounded disciples of Christ and more to help Christians avoid long term responsibility and have less long-term impact.

Obsessing over the future is not how God wants us to live, because showing us the future is not God's way.

Tolerance is a relatively weak virtue; we're called to so much more than that in the body of Christ.

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."
