Success and suffering will either darken your heart or make you wise, but they won't leave you where you were.

You won't be able to change the world, yourself, anything, if you don't change yourself inwardly, deeply, enduringly.

When love of one's people becomes an absolute, it turns into racism. When love of equality turns into a supreme thing, it can result in hatred and violence toward anyone who has led a privileged life. It is the settled tendency of human societies to turn good political causes into counterfeit gods.

Those who understand the gospel cannot possibly look down on anyone, since they were saved by sheer grace, not by their perfect doctrine or strong moral character.

Every single emotion you have should be processed in prayer.

Jesus' claims are particularly unnerving, because if they are true there is no alternative but to bow the knee to him.

Through the person and work of Jesus Christ, God fully accomplishes salvation for us, rescuing us from judgment for sin into fellowship with him, and then restores the creation in which we can enjoy our new life together with him forever.
