Trying to make the Gospel relevant is like trying to make water wet.

There is no error, no addiction with more power than the Cross of Christ.

When I think about sanctification, a couple things immediately pop into my head. One is how slow it actually is. I think everybody wants the silver-bullet, the thing that makes sanctification move like a superhighway rather than the dirt path that it is. The other is that, by in large, the greatest single asset in ongoing sanctification is a serious pursuit of joy in the face of Jesus Christ.

Without a heart transformed by the grace of Christ, we just continue to manage external and internal darkness.

Comfort is the god of our generation, so suffering is seen as a problem to be solved, and not a providence from God.

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

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