Only on the cross do you have a totally holy God and a totally loving God.

Repentance is like antiseptic. You pour antiseptic onto a wound and, at first, it stings. Then it heals.

To discover the real you, look at what you spend time thinking about when no one is looking.

In the christian view, the ultimate evidence for the existence of God is Jesus Christ. If there is a God, we characters in his play have to hope that he put some information about himself in the play. But Christians believe he did more than give us information. He wrote himself into the play as the main character in history, when Jesus was born in a manger and rose from the dead.

The early church was strikingly different from the culture around it in this way - the pagan society was stingy with its money and promiscuous with its body. A pagan gave nobody their money and practically gave everybody their body. And the Christians came along and gave practically nobody their body and they gave practically everybody their money.

You are more sinful than you could dare imagine and you are more loved and accepted than you could ever dare hope.
