I am God and I am coming to find you.

Forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness. To not retaliate is to absorb the cost.

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

It takes pride to be anxious – I am not wise enough to know how my life should go.

The world is a dark place, and yet the coming of Jesus Christ shows us no one and nothing is hopeless.

I've heard plenty of Christians try to answer the why question by going back to the what. "You have to believe because Jesus is the Son of God." But that's answering the why with more what. Increasingly we live in a time in which you can't avoid the why question. Just giving the what (for example, a vivid gospel presentation) worked in the days when the cultural institutions created an environment in which Christianity just felt true or at least honorable. But in a post-Christendom society, in the marketplace of ideas, you have to explain why this is true, or people will just dismiss it.

The main problem in the Christian life is that we have not thought out the deep implications of the gospel, we have not 'used' the gospel in and on all parts of our life.
