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

How you experience your present is completely shaped by what you believe your ultimate future to be.

A job is a vocation only if someone else calls you to do it for them rather than for yourself. And so our work can be a calling only if it is reimagined as a mission of service to something beyond merely our own interests. Thinking of work mainly as a means of self-fulfillment and self-realization slowly crushes a person.

If we can't "love the sinner; hate the sin" then how can we relate to ourselves? Love who we are in Christ but still hate the sin remaining.

Faith is not primarily a function of how you feel. Faith is living out and believing what truth is despite what you feel.

If we are not deliberately thinking about our culture and our context, we will be conformed to it without ever knowing.

The church should be a place where people can be free to say that they are sinners.
