So relational evangelism? Go for it, as long as it turns into real evangelism. You hanging out having a beer with your buddy so he can see that Christians are cool is not what we’re called to do. You’re eventually going to have to open up your mouth and share the gospel. When the pure gospel is shared, people respond.

No change of job, no increased income, no new home, no new electronic device, or no new spouse is going to make things better inside of you.

If you want to grow in true wisdom, grow in a knowledge of the God of the Bible.

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

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

We’ve been given the covenant community because we need each other, and together we’ll be more mature, experience more life, and know more joy than we ever would apart from one another.

When we see the bankruptcy, slavery, and vanity of everything else, we can finally say, ‘To die is gain.’
