The man who attempts Christianity without the church shoots himself in the foot, shoots his children in the leg, and shoots his grandchildren in the heart.

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

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

We take hold of Christ as his words take hold us.

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.

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.

Perhaps out inactivity is not so much waiting on God as it is an expression of the fear of man, the love of the praise of man, and disbelief in God's providence.
