All change comes from deepening your understanding of the salvation of Christ and living out the changes that understanding creates in your heart.

If we are not deliberately thinking about our culture and our context, we will be conformed to it without ever knowing.

Faith in the gospel restructures our motivations, our self-understanding, our identity, and our view of the world. Behavioral compliance to rules without heart-change will be superficial and fleeting… We can only change permanently as we take the gospel more deeply into our understanding and into our hearts. We must feed on the gospel, as it were, digesting it and making it part of ourselves. That is how we grow.

Work is taking the raw material of creation and developing it for the sake of others.

By praying with friends, you will be able to hear and see facets of Jesus that you have not yet perceived.

Prayer turns theology into experience.

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