The gospel is not just the A-B-C's but the A-Z of Christianity. The gospel is not just the minimum required doctrine necessary to enter the kingdom, but the way we make all progress in the kingdom.

We can only grasp the gospel's sweetness if we first grapple with its offense- you can't save yourself.

God loves you just because He loves you.

Christians tend to motivate others with guilt. We tend to say: You would do this if you were really committed Christians, indicating that we are committed and all that is needed is for others to become as good as we are! This is why so many churches quench the motivation of people for ministry. In our shoes, Paul would say: Remember the grace God has showered on you—what does living out and enjoying that grace look like in this situation?

If you have to run away from something that used to be an idol, you're actually still enslaved by it. It's still controlling you.

We would say homosexuality is not the original design for sexuality. Therefore, it’s not good for human flourishing. We want people to do things that are good for human flourishing. But that’s not what sends you to heaven or Hell.

God looks at the anxious and says, I tore my Son to shreds for you, and you're afraid I will not give you what you need?
