The world says you are loved because of what you do. Jesus says you can now do all things because you are loved.

Love is the effort and desire to make someone else everything they were created to be.

Jesus Christ was treated as we deserved so that when we believe in Jesus, God treats us as Jesus deserves.

The Gospel worldview equips the artist with a unique combination of optimism and realism about life.

You are a totally loved moral failure.

While other worldviews lead us to sit in the midst of life’s joys, foreseeing the coming sorrows, Christianity empowers its people to sit in the midst of this world’s sorrows, tasting the coming joy.

Christianity teaches that, contra fatalism, suffering is overwhelming; contra Buddhism, suffering is real; contra karma, suffering is often unfair; but contra secularism, suffering is meaningful. There is a purpose to it, and if faced rightly, it can drive us like a nail deep into the love of God and into more stability and spiritual power than you can imagine.
