Love without truth is sentimentality; it supports and affirms us but keeps us in denial about our flaws. Truth without love is harshness; it gives us information but in such a way that we cannot really hear it.

The purpose of Jesus's coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it.

When we worry we are saying, 'I know the way my life is supposed to go, and God's not getting it right'.

The gospel is not about choosing to follow advice; it's about being called to follow a King.

Bad evangelism says: I'm right, you're wrong, and I would love to tell you about it

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.
