Many people think of the Bible as a book of moral teachings with stories sprinkled through to illustrate the teachings. But it's a lot BETTER THAN THAT...the Bible is a single true story with teachings sprinkled through to illustrate the story.

The main problem in the Christian life is that we have not thought out the deep implications of the gospel, we have not 'used' the gospel in and on all parts of our life.

The gospel has supernatural versatility to address the particular hopes, fears, and idols of every culture and every person.

The human race doesn't need more books telling them what to do. They need the power to do what they already know.

If you don't love the poor, you don't know what God's done for you.

Christianity offers not merely a consolation but a restoration - not just of the life we had but of the life we always wanted but never achieved. And because the joy will be even greater for all that evil, this means the final defeat of all those forces that would have destroyed the purpose of God in creation, namely, to live with his people in glory and delight forever.

If you love anything in this world more than God, you will crush that object under the weight of your expectations.
