We must go back again and again to the Gospel of Christ crucified, so that our hearts are more deeply gripped by the reality of what He did and who we are in Him.

What you treasure will ultimately require you die for it, Jesus is the only treasure that died for you.

Suffering can refine us rather than destroy us because God himself walks with us in the fire.

Money isn't an idol. It just shows you where your idols are.

Contextualization is not giving people what they want. It is giving God's answers (which they probably do not want) to the questions they are asking and in forms they can comprehend.

If you come from insignificance and when you die you return to insignificance, then nothing is significant now.

It is inaccurate to think the gospel is what saves non-Christians, and then Christians mature by trying hard to live according to biblical principles. It is more accurate to say that we are saved by believing the gospel, and then we are transformed in every part of our minds, hearts, and lives by believing the gospel more and more deeply as life goes on.
