If you can't show the difference between religion and the Gospel, people will confuse morality with a changed heart

If you're avoiding sin and living morally so that God will have to bless you and save you, then you may be looking to Jesus as a teacher, model, and helper, but ironically you are avoiding him as Savior. You are trusting in your own goodness rather than in Jesus for your standing with God.

There is a joy available that the deepest grief cannot put out. No circumstance or person can take away the joy God gives.

Change happens not just by giving the mind new arguments but also by feeding the imagination new beauties

Everyone will be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavors, even the best, will come to naught. Unless there is God. If the God of the Bible exists, and there is a True Reality beneath and behind this one, and this life is not the only life, then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling, can matter forever.

When Jesus got the big questions, he didn't present arguments. He presented himself.

If God is real, why does he align perfectly with our views? We should expect God to challenge us on what we think is right somewhere
