Jesus Christ was treated as we deserved so that when we believe in Jesus, God treats us as Jesus deserves.

Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances; it promises you a better life.

The sin under all other sins is a lack of joy in Christ.

[Spiritual friendship] is eagerly helping one another know, serve, love, and resemble God in deeper and deeper ways.

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'?

It takes pride to be anxious – I am not wise enough to know how my life should go.

As many have learned and later taught, you don't realize Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have.
