Public faith means going public with what’s in your heart, with humility and respect for others, as we speak of the truth of the gospel.

Every single emotion you have should be processed in prayer.

One of the biggest obstacles in the way of people coming to Christianity is that they think they know about it already.

[T]he main problem in life is sin, and the only solution is God and his grace. The alternative to this view is to identify something besides sin as the main problem with the world and something besides God as the main remedy. That demonizes something that is not completely bad, and makes an idol out of something that cannot be the ultimate good.

If we are not deliberately thinking about our culture and our context, we will be conformed to it without ever knowing.

To be a Christian is a standing, a legal position. It means to be a child of God. You are or you are not, there is no try.

Suffering can refine us rather than destroy us because God himself walks with us in the fire.
