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.

Nothing we formulate or do can qualify us for access to God. Only grace can do that- based not on our performance but on the saving work of Christ.

Most apologetic books are really written for Christians, even the ones that purport to be written for non-believers.

I think these younger Christians are the vanguard of some major new religious, social, and political arrangements that could make the older form of culture wars obsolete. After they wrestle with doubts and objections to Christianity many come out on the other side with an orthodox faith that doesn't fit the current categories of liberal Democrat or conservative Republican.

When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride.

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

It takes more than a great church to reach a city, it takes a great movement of churches.
