The great message that we call the gospel begins, then, not with us, or our need, or even the meeting of that need, but with the writer of the news and the sender of its heralds: God himself.

While the good news of the gospel may not appeal to everyone, the bad news of the gospel still applies to everyone.

Every missionary I know is extraordinarily ordinary. Everything they do, they do by the grace of God.

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

While we lament the apparent injustice of pain and suffering, how often do we forget that every good thing in a fallen world is wholly a gift of God's mercy and grace.

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.

You're exhausted in the faith because you're looking at you. The more you look at yourself and the less you look at God, the more you get frustrated at yourself.
