Because we put ourselves in God’s place, He put Himself in our place.

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

The church does not simply have a missions department; it should wholly exist to be a mission.

It fits to glorify God - it not only fits reality, because God is infinitely and supremely praiseworthy, but it fits us as nothing else does. All the beauty we have looked for in art or faces or places - and all the love we have looked for in the arms of other people - is only fully present in God himself. And so in every action by which we treat him as glorious as he is, whether through prayer, singing, trusting, obeying, or hoping, we are at once giving God his due and fulfilling our own design.

Religion says earn your life. Secular society says create your life. Jesus says, 'My life for your life.

No one is so good that they don’t need the grace of the gospel, nor so bad that they can’t receive the grace of the gospel.

The Gospel does not promise you better life circumstances; it promises you a better life.
