Even if our own troubles are great, we should still serve. Jesus washed His disciples feet on the way to the cross.

Our character is mainly shaped by our primary social community - the people with whom we eat, play, converse, and study.

Only on the cross do you have a totally holy God and a totally loving God.

If we say, 'I believe in Jesus,' but it doesn't affect the way we live, the answer is not that now we need to add hard work to our faith so much as that we haven't truly understood or believed in Jesus at all.

Repentance is like antiseptic. You pour antiseptic onto a wound and, at first, it stings. Then it heals.

The reason the stone was rolled away on Jesus's tomb was not so that Jesus could get out, but so that we could get in.

I wouldn't venture to say which kind of sin is more prevalent. I wouldn't even want to try to characterize certain 'circles.'
