When love of one's people becomes an absolute, it turns into racism. When love of equality turns into a supreme thing, it can result in hatred and violence toward anyone who has led a privileged life. It is the settled tendency of human societies to turn good political causes into counterfeit gods.

The cross is the place where we find the freedom to accept ourselves without being proud and to challenge ourselves without being crushed.

Christ literally walked in our shoes and entered into our affliction. Those who will not help others until they are destitute reveal that Christ's love has not yet turned them into the sympathetic persons the gospel should make them.

Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances; it promises you a better life.

While we want doubts to give way to faith, we should be merciful and patient with those who are still in a doubt-troubled place.

If you love anything in this world more than God, you will crush that object under the weight of your expectations.

The primary means-of-reviva l that everyone agrees upon is extraordinary prayer.
