You can't live the Christian life without a band of Christian friends, without a family of believers in which you find a place.

If God exists then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling can matter forever.

Truth without love is imperious self-righteousn ess. Love without truth is cowardly self-indulgence .

Faith is not primarily a function of how you feel. Faith is living out and believing what truth is despite what you feel.

When Job was prospering, he prayed. When he was suffering, he still prayed.

It is inaccurate to think the gospel is what saves non-Christians, and then Christians mature by trying hard to live according to biblical principles. It is more accurate to say that we are saved by believing the gospel, and then we are transformed in every part of our minds, hearts, and lives by believing the gospel more and more deeply as life goes on.

Only if God can say things that make you struggle will you know that you have met a real God and not a figment of your imagination.
