The two things we all want so desperately — glory and relationship — can coexist only with God.

There is a direct relationship between a person's grasp and experience of God's grace, and his or her heart for justice and the poor.

Everyone will be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavors, even the best, will come to naught. Unless there is God. If the God of the Bible exists, and there is a True Reality beneath and behind this one, and this life is not the only life, then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling, can matter forever.

Jesus's miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming.

The key to continual and deeper spiritual renewal and revival is the continual re-discovery of the gospel.

If we can't "love the sinner; hate the sin" then how can we relate to ourselves? Love who we are in Christ but still hate the sin remaining.

Many times people think if God has called you to something, he's promising you success. He might be calling you to fail to prepare you for something else through the failure.
