Intellectual ascent to correct doctrine is not salvation

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.

Because a God who is ultimately most focused on his own glory will be about the business of restoring us, who are all broken images of him. His glory demands it. So we should be thankful for a self-sufficient God whose self-regard is glorious.

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

The reconciling gospel is always at the forefront of the church’s social action, because a full belly is not better than a reconciled soul.

What stirs up in my heart is, 'Oh would we see an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.'

Truly, God's plan of redemption is about more than me and you and our neighbor down the street. It's about men and women from every tribe, tongue, and nation on earth becoming a part of His covenant community.
