Most people want Jesus as a consultant rather than a King, and He does not come that way.

[T]he main problem in life is sin, and the only solution is God and his grace. The alternative to this view is to identify something besides sin as the main problem with the world and something besides God as the main remedy. That demonizes something that is not completely bad, and makes an idol out of something that cannot be the ultimate good.

Living is giving....If you spend your money on yourself, you are just surviving. But if you want your life to count, if you want to really live - give.

The life of faith is not the perfect life; it is the life which clings on to what God has said he will do.

The resurrection of the body means that we do not merely receive a consolation for the life we have lost but a restoration of it. We not only get the bodies and lives we had but the bodies and lives we wished for but had never before received.

Jesus experienced homelessness at Christmas so that we could experience a love we could never lose.

Love is primarily giving. It’s an action that leads to a feeling, not a feeling first.
