Suffering is the stripping of our hope in finite things, therefore we do not put our ultimate hope in anything finite.

Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him.

Ministry to the poor is a crucial sign that we believe the gospel.

Grace is humbling and restorative. It pulls you down because Christ had to die for you, but also lifts you up because he wanted to die for you.

You are worse than you think you are, but also far more loved than you feel you are.

You won't be able to change the world, yourself, anything, if you don't change yourself inwardly, deeply, enduringly.

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