It is because Jesus Christ experienced cosmic thirst on the cross that you and I can have our spiritual thirst satisfied. It is because he died that we can be born again. And he did it gladly. Seeing what he did and why he did it will turn our hearts away from the things that enslave us and toward him in worship. That is the gospel, and it is the same for skeptics, believers, insiders, outcasts, and everyone in between.

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.

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

Public faith means going public with what’s in your heart, with humility and respect for others, as we speak of the truth of the gospel.

The essence of Christian obedience is not do’s and don’ts but personal allegiance to Jesus.

Gifts are abilities God gives us to meet the needs of others in Christ’s name.

It is no more narrow to claim that one religion is right than to claim that one way to think about all religions is right.
