To truly become Christians we must also repent of the reasons we ever did anything right.

Any person who only sticks with Christianity as long as things are going his or her way, is a stranger to the cross

The early church was strikingly different from the culture around it in this way - the pagan society was stingy with its money and promiscuous with its body. A pagan gave nobody their money and practically gave everybody their body. And the Christians came along and gave practically nobody their body and they gave practically everybody their money.

God is so committed to your ultimate joy that he was willing to plunge into the greatest depths of suffering himself for you.

Religion operates on the principle 'I obey-therefore I am accepted by God.' But the operating principle of the gospel is 'I am accepted by God through what Christ has done-therefore I obey.'

Trust is accepting what God sends into your life whether you understand it or not.

We are saved by a man who died loving his enemies.
