Those who understand the gospel cannot possibly look down on anyone, since they were saved by sheer grace, not by their perfect doctrine or strong moral character.

People only get in the afterlife what they have most wanted-either to have God as Savior and Master or to be their own Saviors and Masters.

The key question in order to change you is not 'What would Jesus do?' but "What has Jesus done for you?"

God made you to love him supremely, but he lost you. He returned to get you back, but it took the cross to do it. He absorbed your darkness so that one day you can finally and dazzlingly become your true self and take your seat at his eternal feast.

The primary means-of-reviva l that everyone agrees upon is extraordinary prayer.

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

We are free to fight sin, and free to win; but we must still fight.
