Our God is righteous enough to judge and kind enough to forgive.

We can stop pleading with God to show us the future, and start living and obeying like we are confident that He holds the future.

We do not truly know what love is unless we know Christ.

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

It’s all too easy to turn the fight of faith into sanctification-by-checklist. Take care of a few bad habits, develop a couple good ones, and you’re set. But a moral checklist doesn’t take into consideration the idols of the hearts. It may not even have the gospel as part of the equation. And inevitably, checklist spirituality is highly selective. So you end up feeling successful at sanctification because you stayed away from drugs, lost weight, served at the soup kitchen, and renounced Styrofoam. But you’ve ignored gentleness, humility, joy, and sexual purity.

Many in Jesus' day saw him, but they didn't have communion with him. You can have more of Christ by faith than they had by sight.

Don't try so hard to be hip. When the Church finds out what is cool, it is not cool anymore.
