Church of Jesus, let us please be men and women who understand the difference between moralism and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let’s be careful to preach the dos and don’ts of Scripture in the shadow of the cross’s ‘Done!’

Jesus doesn't need you to make him palatable...he needs you to be faithful.

I learned very early that people need to have a good grasp of God's goodness and God's sovereignty.

I preach hard against that idea and plead with people to make war against sin. I tell them it's not going to be easy. Some people are meant to wrestle with their sin a long time before God brings them to freedom, but let's wrestle. Let's fight. Let's do something besides just complain.

Discipline will never bring about love for God, but love for God will bring about discipline.

If you add to or subtract from the cross, even if it is to factor in biblically mandated religious practices like prayer and evangelism, you rob God of His glory and Christ of His sufficiency.

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