The key question in order to change you is not 'What would Jesus do?' but "What has Jesus done for you?"

If we are not deliberately thinking about our culture and our context, we will be conformed to it without ever knowing.

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

A Christian is somebody whose eyes have been opened, who admits that Jesus is not what you expected, but he’s what you need.

If a person has grasped the meaning of God's grace in his heart, he will do justice. If he doesn't live justly, then he may say with his lips that he is grateful for God's grace, but in his heart he is far from him. If he doesn't care about the poor, it reveals that at best he doesn't understand the grace he has experienced, and at worst he has not really encountered the saving mercy of God. Grace should make you just.

If we can't "love the sinner; hate the sin" then how can we relate to ourselves? Love who we are in Christ but still hate the sin remaining.

Careful obedience to God’s law may serve as a strategy for rebelling against God
