Generosity is not only about money. There is more than one currency. Let your generosity be pervasive in life.

Life in this fallen world is to a great degree meaningless, our aspirations are constantly being frustrated, and sometimes the respectable people are oppressive and bigoted. And yet there is a Good that will triumph over Evil in the end. From a Christian perspective the problem with both kinds of stories is that they tend to blame problems on things besides sin and identify salvation in things besides God — and therefore are ultimately too simplistic.

The human race doesn't need more books telling them what to do. They need the power to do what they already know.

If Christianity is really true it will be offending and correcting you somewhere.

The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.

We are called not simply to communicate the gospel to nonbelievers; we must also intentionally celebrate the gospel before them.

If we give God things in hope that they'll earn us blessings, we're really not doing anything for him. It's for ourselves.
