Christ will do everything for you or nothing. He's either all of your righteousness or none.

Prayer is never just an emergency flare or desperate anxious gamble. God's attention is not based on our performance but parental love.

The gospel is not about choosing to follow advice; it's about being called to follow a King.

Only when our greatest love is God, a love that we cannot lose even in death, can we face all things with peace. Grief was not to be eliminated but seasoned and buoyed up with love and hope.

To the degree you experience God's love towards you - seeing you as beautiful and radiant - to that degree sex won't ruin your life.

Important reminder: It's not fair of you to demand more proof of Christians for their beliefs than you demand for your own.

Every single emotion you have should be processed in prayer.
