Whatever you base your life on--you have to live up to that. Jesus is the one Lord you can live for who already died for you.

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

The gospel frees us from the relentless pressure of having to prove ourselves, for we are already proven and secure.

Generosity is not only about money. There is more than one currency. Let your generosity be pervasive in life.

The Cross is not simply a lovely example of sacrificial love. Throwing your life away needlessly is not admirable — it is wrong. Jesus’ death was only a good example if it was more than an example, if it was something absolutely necessary to rescue us. And it was. Why did Jesus have to die in order to forgive us? There was a debt to be paid — God himself paid it. There was a penalty to be born — God himself bore it. Forgiveness is always a form of costly suffering.

If the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection depends on death, destruction, and violence of the strong against the weak, then these things are perfectly natural. On what basis, then, does the atheist judge the natural world to be horribly wrong, unfair, and unjust?

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