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

Doing justice includes not only the righting of wrongs but generosity and social concern, especially toward the poor and vulnerable.

The very fact that we have access to God's attention and presence should concentrate the thoughts and elevate the heart.

The gospel has two parts. It has the part that says you're a sinner, and it has the part that says you're loved and accepted.

To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.

Power, approval, comfort, and control are meta-idols that hold sway over our daily lives.

I am going to judge my circumstances by Jesus’ love, not Jesus’ love by my circumstances.
