The lack of joy in your life is due to your lack of mission.

Think like a prophet, serve like a priest, and plan like a king.

It takes both spouses to say, "My self-centeredness is the main problem in my marriage" to have a great marriage.

Describe the God you've rejected. Describe the God you don't believe in. Maybe I don't believe in that God either.

Jesus is not asking us to do anything for him that he hasn’t already done for us, under conditions of difficulty beyond our comprehension.

It is because Jesus Christ experienced cosmic thirst on the cross that you and I can have our spiritual thirst satisfied. It is because he died that we can be born again. And he did it gladly. Seeing what he did and why he did it will turn our hearts away from the things that enslave us and toward him in worship. That is the gospel, and it is the same for skeptics, believers, insiders, outcasts, and everyone in between.

Religion operates on the principle 'I obey-therefore I am accepted by God.' But the operating principle of the gospel is 'I am accepted by God through what Christ has done-therefore I obey.'
