Engaging the city around us and ministering to its needs reveal to us the remaining bastions of sin in our lives, the areas we refuse to surrender to God.

Comfort is the god of our generation, so suffering is seen as a problem to be solved, and not a providence from God.

In essence, we are reconciled to reconcile.

Find the things that stir your affections for Christ and saturate your life in them. Find the things that rob you of that affection and walk away from them. That's the Christian life as easy as I can explain it for you.

We carry an insidious prosperity gospel around in our dark, little, entitled hearts.

The reconciling gospel is always at the forefront of the church’s social action, because a full belly is not better than a reconciled soul.

Where your delight is, the rest of your world is going to follow.
