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

If you think God has promised this world will be a five-star hotel, you will be miserable as you live through the normal struggles of life. But if you remember that God promised we would be pilgrims and this world may feel more like a desert or even a prison, you might find your life surprisingly happy.

There is no way to work your way to God. There is no way to climb up to heaven. There is only one way, and that is through Christ.

The people on this planet who end up doing nothing are those who never realized they couldn't do everything.

God is still here, God is still real, and God has not gone anywhere, even if you have.

You will never see the preciousness of a Savior, if you do not see the reality of your sin.

The secret of the gospel is that we actually do more when we hear less about all we need to do for God and hear more about all that God has already done for us.
