We must neither confuse evangelism with doing justice, nor separate them from one another.

Pride is that which claims to be the author of what is really a gift.

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 gospel frees us from the relentless pressure of having to prove ourselves, for we are already proven and secure.

God takes our misery and suffering so seriously that he was willing to take it on himself.

Where you find your significance is where you find your salvation.

Jesus took the tree of death so you could have the tree of life.
