The work of God in the cross of Christ strikes us as awe-inspiring only after we have first been awed by the glory of God.

God is more interested in declaring than explaining.

I believe the sovereign God of the universe justifies us freely, and then we are called to run with him in sanctification.

Stop going to church everywhere and start belonging to church somewhere.

The general confusion is that our moral behavior is what justifies us before God. Most of us would never say that with our mouths but we feel that lie in our heart and believe it in our minds. You can be morally upright and not be a worshipper of Christ at all.

If you’re a church person and not a Jesus person, my heart hurts for you. It’s like being engaged and never getting married. It’s miserable.

All ministry that is faithful & eventually fruitful finds its roots in the life, death, & resurrection of Jesus Christ.
