Don't create theology about God so that you can feel better about Him.

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

If you’re a church person and not a Jesus person, my heart hurts for you. It’s like being engaged and never getting married. It’s miserable.

There's a strong victim mentality in my generation. I think it's spiritual laziness. They will agree that God is sovereign over all, but then they will say, "Well, I wish he would sovereignly take away my lust issue." There's just not a lot of fortitude, not a lot of fight in them.

Until Christ is our treasure, any other motivation we have to suffer for him is a fool’s errand.

While we lament the apparent injustice of pain and suffering, how often do we forget that every good thing in a fallen world is wholly a gift of God's mercy and grace.

The great mercy of God was that while I was purposefully preparing God's people, He was purposefully preparing me.
