Important reminder: It's not fair of you to demand more proof of Christians for their beliefs than you demand for your own.

If you and your church were to disappear off the face of the earth tomorrow, would anyone in the community around you notice you were gone? And if the community did even notice would they say 'we are really glad they are gone', or 'we are really going to miss them'?

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

When Jesus got the big questions, he didn't present arguments. He presented himself.

In a smaller church your pastoring sets up your preaching. In a larger church your preaching sets up your pastoring.

When you experience God it is deeply personal, but it's not at all private.

Christmas means Jesus came down and got involved in suffering. He hears your cries.
