The early church was strikingly different from the culture around it in this way - the pagan society was stingy with its money and promiscuous with its body. A pagan gave nobody their money and practically gave everybody their body. And the Christians came along and gave practically nobody their body and they gave practically everybody their money.

Prayer turns theology into experience.

Grace is humbling and restorative. It pulls you down because Christ had to die for you, but also lifts you up because he wanted to die for you.

A Christian is somebody whose eyes have been opened, who admits that Jesus is not what you expected, but he’s what you need.

The Gospel is the deepest consolation you can offer to the human heart.

God's salvation does not come in response to a changed life. A changed life comes in response to the salvation, offered as a free gift.

You dont fall into love. You commit to it. Love is saying I will be there no matter what.
