God is not in love with some future version of you. It’s not you tomorrow that He loves and delights in. It’s not you when you get your act together....If you believe that Christ’s love for you is a future love for you, then you dismiss the cross of Christ.

Preach the Gospel with your life.

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

Faith doesn’t mean an absence of fear. It means facing fear and trusting that God’s goodness is greater.

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

When God saves you, he doesn’t do it because you gave him permission. He did it because he’s God.

Jesus doesn't avoid those who mess up. Jesus runs to those who mess up.
