When a person becomes a Christian, he doesn’t just join a local church because it’s a good habit for growing in spiritual maturity. He joins a local church because it’s the expression of what Christ has made him—a member of the body of Christ.

Suffering can serve us. Suffering tests our trust in God's promises. And we have a great interest in knowing the truth about our trust in Him.

Today is what the Lord has prepared you for.

To evangelize properly by delivering the gospel, we need to follow God's agenda.

Christians, like everyone else, are prone to be selfish and scared, and wanting others to think well of them. So, although we possess what one part of us knows is the greatest news in the world, we don't act as though it is. Consequently, we share the gospel less than we should.

A gospel that in no way offends the sinner has not been understood.

Keep going until you get good counsel that is persuasive for you that you should go elsewhere.
