If you are in Christ, you've been chosen to transcend the borders of your own glory, to reach out toward a greater glory, the glory of God.

The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed.

Love is willing self-sacrifice for the good of another that does not require reciprocation or that the person being loved is deserving

In the family, life is brought not only to our doorstep, but into our kitchens, bedrooms, and dens. In the family, life is happening all around us, and it begs to be questioned, evaluated, interpreted, and discussed. There is no more consistent, pregnant, dynamic forum for instruction about life than the family, because that is exactly what God designed the family to be, a learning community.

Sin is much more than doing the wrong thing. It begins withloving, worshiping, and serving the wrong thing.

God's grace doesn't always come in comfortable forms. But it's still grace, and it's still evidence that He loves us.

Theology without love simply is very bad theology.
