Humility is so shy. If you begin talking about it, it leaves.

The Bible says that our real problem is that every one of us is building our identity on something besides Jesus.

It's impossible to have met the real Jesus and be indifferent. You either bow down in wonder OR go away offended.

Jesus cannot be just liked. His claims make us either kill him or crown him.

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

A church must be more deeply and practically committed to deeds of compassion and social justice than traditional liberal churches and more deeply and practically committed to evangelism and conversion than traditional fundamentalist churches. This kind of church is profoundly counter-intuitive to American observers. It breaks their ability to categorize (and dismiss) it as liberal or conservative. Only this kind of church has any chance in the non-Christian west.
