You cannot exalt God and yourself at the same time.

Instant obedience will teach you more about God than a lifetime of Bible discussions.

We're going to fellowship in eternity. We know that because that's all who's going to be there - is believers. What does God want us to do here? Practice - learning how to love, learning how to fellowship here.

The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now.

The ground we have in common with unbelievers is not the Bible, but our common needs, hurts, and interests as human beings. You cannot start with a text expecting the unchurched to be fascinated by it. You must first capture their attention, and then move them to the truth of God's Word. By starting with a topic that interests the unchurched and then showing what the Bible says about it, you can grab their attention, disarm prejudices, and create an interest in the Bible that wasn't there before.

Faith in Jesus must be personal but it cannot be private.

I believe what Irenaeus said - the glory of God is a human being fully alive.
