All life-changing love is inconvenient.

The simple fact is that only if I love Jesus more than my wife will I be able to serve her needs ahead of my own.

Jesus was much more interested in the quality of the people's response to him than in the quantity of the crowd.

If there is a God, you owe him far more than a morally decent life.

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.

Religion: 'My identity is built on being a good person.' Gospel: 'My identity is not built on my record or my performance but on Christ's.'
