Progress stems from education, culture, freedom and equality. Without these fundamentals, mankind will flounder.

Men of God are those who walk in the fear of the Lord.

God doesn't need to have emergency meetings. He's never gathered the Trinity and asked 'What happened there'.

Intellectual ascent to correct doctrine is not salvation

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.

I've discovered most Christians don't know what to do with difficult situations because they have bought into the lie that God owes us (for our good behaviour). The reality of life is that if you live long enough you are going to bleed, cry and hurt. AND God is still God IN that.

When you blow it, God still celebrates His Son in you. The litmus test of whether or not you understand the gospel is what you do when you fail. Do you run from Him and go clean yourself up a little bit before you come back into the throne room? Or do you approach the throne of grace with confidence? If you don't approach the throne of grace with confidence, you don't understand the gospel.
