Jesus' purpose is not to warm our hearts but to shatter our categories.

The rich brother needs to let the gospel humble him while the poor brother needs to let the gospel affirm him.

Truth without love is imperious self-righteousn ess. Love without truth is cowardly self-indulgence .

God’s grace does not come to people who morally outperform others, but to those who admit their failure to perform and who acknowledge their need for a Savior.

If you're a Christian how do you deal with stress without Jesus? You don't.

Religion: 'My identity is built on being a good person.' Gospel: 'My identity is not built on my record or my performance but on Christ's.'

...the essence of gospel-humility is not thinking more of myself or thinking less of myself, it is thinking of myself less.
