Revival occurs as a group of people who, on the whole, think they already know the gospel discover they do not really or fully know it, and by embracing the gospel they cross over into living faith.

God relentlessly offers his grace to people who do not deserve it, or seek it, or even appreciate it after they have been saved by it.

Love is the effort and desire to make someone else everything they were created to be.

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

Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances; it promises you a better life.

The two things we all want so desperately — glory and relationship — can coexist only with God.

When Job was prospering, he prayed. When he was suffering, he still prayed.
