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

Unless you point to the good news of God's grace people will not be able to bear the bad news of God's judgement.

What is an idol? It is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give.

There's nothing that makes you more miserable (or less interesting) than self-absorption .

When people say, "I know God forgives me, but I can't forgive myself," they mean that they have failed an idol, whose approval is more important than God's.

It is no more narrow to claim that one religion is right than to claim that one way to think about all religions is right.

The Gospel is news of what God has done to reach us. It is not advice about what we must do to reach God.
