It’s a mistake to think that you must feel love to give it.

The Gospel worldview equips the artist with a unique combination of optimism and realism about life.

The key question in order to change you is not 'What would Jesus do?' but "What has Jesus done for you?"

It fits to glorify God - it not only fits reality, because God is infinitely and supremely praiseworthy, but it fits us as nothing else does. All the beauty we have looked for in art or faces or places - and all the love we have looked for in the arms of other people - is only fully present in God himself. And so in every action by which we treat him as glorious as he is, whether through prayer, singing, trusting, obeying, or hoping, we are at once giving God his due and fulfilling our own design.

The gospel destroys pride because it tells us we are so lost that Jesus had to die for us.

God's Kingdom is "present in its beginnings, but still future in its fullness. This guards us from an under-realized eschatology (expecting no change now) and an over-realized eschatology (expecting all change now). In this stage, we embrace the reality that while we're not yet what we will be, we're also no longer what we used to be.

The resurrection was God's way of stamping PAID IN FULL right across history so that nobody could miss it.
