Religion makes us proud of what we have done. The Gospel makes us proud of what Jesus has done.

The world is polarizing over religion. It is getting both more religious and less religious at the same time.

We think that idols are bad things, but that is almost never the case. The greater the good, the more likely we are to expect that it can satisfy our deepest needs and hopes. Anything can serve as a counterfeit god, especially the very best things in life.

If his suffering did not make Jesus give up on us, nothing will.

Jesus Christ, who had all the power in the world, saw us enslaved by the very things we thought would free us ... He laid aside the infinities and immensities of His being and, at the cost of His life, paid the debt for our sins, purchasing us the only place our hearts can rest, in His Father's house. Knowing He did this will transform us from the inside out.

The observer of beauty always receives a passion to share the beauty with others.

If you need something in addition to God to make you happy, that is your true King.
