If the church does not identify with the marginalized, it will itself be marginalized. This is God's poetic justice.

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 church is not a museum for pristine saints, but a hospital ward for broken sinners.

No matter what precautions we take, no matter how well we have put together a good life, no matter how hard we have worked to be healthy, wealthy, comfortable with friends and family, and successful with our career — something will inevitably ruin it.

It's important to remember the Gospel is a story; not a set of bullet points.

The sin that is most destructive in your life right now is the one you are most defensive about.

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