Intellectual ascent to correct doctrine is not salvation

While the good news of the gospel may not appeal to everyone, the bad news of the gospel still applies to everyone.

Love says: I’ve seen the ugly parts of you, and I’m staying.

You're exhausted in the faith because you're looking at you. The more you look at yourself and the less you look at God, the more you get frustrated at yourself.

Many of the things that stifle growth are morally neutral. They're not bad things. Facebook is not bad. Television and movies are not bad. I enjoy TV, but it doesn't take long for me to begin to find humorous on TV what the Lord finds heartbreaking.

Lots of neat Christian boys, not a lot of Godly men. And we are working our tails off for you to try to develop some into that. But do not settle, because it's better that you be lonely now than you be married and lonely later. Are you tracking me? It is better that you be lonely now than for you to get married to a man that will teach your kids everything but the way of Jesus.

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