The reality is that all God has to do is reveal himself to you,and you'll gladly join the mission in service to his kingdom. He doesn't force the issue; he just has to reveal himself as is: mighty,wondrous, gracious, loving, and radically saving. No man goes back to saltine crackers when he's had fillet mignon.

The drug of choice in the modern age is levity. We want everything to be light and bubbly. We just want to feel good.

"Being a good steward" and "placing your hope in" is not the same thing.

I think people can get a little weirded out by pain, suffering, and death. They don't know what to do so they end up saying things that are hurtful to people who have experienced loss.

The heart of our problem is the problem of our hearts.

Heaven is not a place for those who are afraid of hell; it’s a place for those who love God.
