Without immersion in God's words, our prayers may not be merely limited and shallow but also untethered from reality.

The product of a true, growing, gospel-centered nature is often gentleness.

God looks at the anxious and says, I tore my Son to shreds for you, and you're afraid I will not give you what you need?

Even if our own troubles are great, we should still serve. Jesus washed His disciples feet on the way to the cross.

The ministry of mercy, then, is the best advertising a church can have. It convinces a community that this church provides people with actions for their problems, not only talk. It shows the community that this church is compassionate.

Without the gospel we hate ourselves instead of our sin. Without the gospel we’re motivated through all sorts of awful fear and pride to change and it doesn’t really change our hearts; it just restrains our hearts.

The great basis of Christian assurance is not how much our hearts are set on God, but how unshakably his heart is set on us.
