When "everything is awesome" we may miss what (and Who) is truly deserving of awe.

Christians often equate holiness with activism and spiritual disciplines. And while it's true that activism is often the outgrowth of holiness and spiritual disciplines are necessary for the cultivation of holiness, the pattern of piety in the Scripture is more explicitly about our character. We put off sin and put on righteousness. We put to death the deeds of the flesh and put on Christ. To use the older language, we pursue mortification of the old man and the vivification of the new.

Your love should be so far reaching, earnest, biblical, Christ-centered, pure, and self-sacrificing that the world may hate you for it.

In the world of perpetual outrage, people cannot see the difference between deflated footballs, a dead lion, and dismembered babies.

Let us shout of our God from the rooftops, that the whole world would stand in silence before him.

You will fear something or someone. The Bible says the wisest way to go about your life is to fear God.

Die to self. Live for Christ. And then do what you want, and go where you want, for God's glory.
