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

If you're avoiding sin and living morally so that God will have to bless you and save you, then you may be looking to Jesus as a teacher, model, and helper, but ironically you are avoiding him as Savior. You are trusting in your own goodness rather than in Jesus for your standing with God.

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

To pray is to accept that we are, and always will be, wholly dependent on God for everything.

The prerequisite for receiving the grace of God is to know you need it.

Change won’t happen through ‘trying harder’ but only through encountering the radical grace of God.

Every treasure on this earth says, 'Give your life to purchase me.' Jesus says 'I'm the one treasure who died to purchase you.'
