When we join God in his plan for his global glory, we get to be a part of the cosmic take-your-kid-t o-work day.

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.

This avoidance of the difficult things of Scripture — of sinfulness and hell and God’s notable severity — is idolatrous and cowardly. If a man or a woman who teaches the Scriptures is afraid to explain to you the severity of God, they have betrayed you, and they love their ego more than they love you.

We are supernaturalists first, not naturalists. The only reason we feel compelled to accommodate science is that science says we ought to. But it is science that should accommodate revelation. Revelation has been around much longer.

Why do we try so hard to make Jesus cool?! He doesn’t need a makeover.

In 10,000 years you will not regret anything you didn’t have or do in this life.

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