The common moral framework: Do anything as long as it does no harm to others. Problem: Whose definition of harm?

We must have a strong inner life of fellowship and intimacy with Jesus if we are going to have a strong outer life of ministry

To truly become Christians we must also repent of the reasons we ever did anything right.

Only if you first seek inner forgiveness will your confrontation be temperate, wise, and gracious. Only when you have lost the need to see the other person hurt will you have any chance of actually bringing about change, reconciliation, and healing. You have to submit to the costly suffering and death of forgiveness if there is going to be any resurrection.

The more you rejoice in your own forgiveness, the quicker you will be to forgive others.

Revival occurs as a group of people who, on the whole, think they already know the gospel discover they do not really or fully know it, and by embracing the gospel they cross over into living faith.

Love without truth is sentimentality; it supports and affirms us but keeps us in denial about our flaws. Truth without love is harshness; it gives us information but in such a way that we cannot really hear it.
