The church does not simply have a missions department; it should wholly exist to be a mission.

The basic premise of religion– that if you live a good life, things will go well for you– is wrong. Jesus was the most morally upright person who ever lived, yet He had a life filled with the experience of poverty, rejection, injustice, and even torture.

Faith is not opposed to reason, but it is sometimes opposed to feelings and appearances.

Jesus cannot be just liked. His claims make us either kill him or crown him.

Jesus' claims are particularly unnerving, because if they are true there is no alternative but to bow the knee to him.

The Gospel is the deepest consolation you can offer to the human heart.
