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.

There isn’t a violent soul on the planet that God might not save and transform for himself.

Truly, God's plan of redemption is about more than me and you and our neighbor down the street. It's about men and women from every tribe, tongue, and nation on earth becoming a part of His covenant community.

Jesus doesn't avoid those who mess up. Jesus runs to those who mess up.

I'm accepted by God and it has nothing to do with me.

Truth is to be used as a scalpel, not a club.
