Don't follow those who can talk a big game about their amazing faith in Christ. Follow people who are actually following Christ.

God does have a specific plan for our lives, but it is not one that He expects us to figure out before we make a decision.

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

God did not send a concept, an idea, or a virtue. He sent his Son. Follow the God of love, not love as your god.

The Bible tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Surely part of loving in this way is trying to understand what another person wants us to understand. I may not understand perfectly and I may not agree, but if I love you I should try to know what it is you wish I could know.

When busyness goes after joy, it goes after everyone's joy.

Much of the impotence of American churches is tied to a profound ignorance and apathy about justification. Our people live in a fog of guilt. Or just as bad, they think being a better person is all God requires.
