Change happens not just by giving the mind new arguments but also by feeding the imagination new beauties

If you have to run away from something that used to be an idol, you're actually still enslaved by it. It's still controlling you.

Christianity is not just for the strong; it's for everyone.

Jesus says, "I want you to follow me so fully, so intensely, so enduringly that all other attachments in your life look weak by comparison"

Nothing we formulate or do can qualify us for access to God. Only grace can do that- based not on our performance but on the saving work of Christ.

Rejoicing and repentance must go together. Repentance without rejoicing will lead to despair. Rejoicing without repentance is shallow and will only provide passing inspiration instead of deep change.

The gospel has two parts. It has the part that says you're a sinner, and it has the part that says you're loved and accepted.
