God never intended for us to simply be the objects of His love. We are also called to be the instruments of that love in the lives of others.
Paul David TrippEvery day you preach to yourself a gospel of your loneliness, inability, and lack of resources or you faithfully preach to yourself the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul David TrippWe, with all of our sin, weakness, and failures are welcome to do what should blow our minds. We are not only tolerated by God at a distance; no, we are welcomed into intimate personal communion with the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the creator, the sovereign, the Savior. We, as unholy as we are, are told to go with confidence into his holy presence.
Paul David TrippThe Bible says that our core problem, the fundamental reason we do what we do, is sin.
