To say doctrine doesn't matter, only how you live matters, is itself a doctrine. It's the doctrine of salvation by works.

Remember that according to the Bible, the heart is not primarily the emotions but rather the seat of our fundamental commitments and trusts, and therefore it is the control center of the whole life. So to preach to the heart means to go right for the commanding commitments of people's lives that drive their desires, thinking, feeling, and action.

The more you rejoice in your own forgiveness, the quicker you will be to forgive others.

Christ literally walked in our shoes and entered into our affliction. Those who will not help others until they are destitute reveal that Christ's love has not yet turned them into the sympathetic persons the gospel should make them.

Discipleship is not an option. Jesus says that if anyone would come after me, he must follow me.

Christ will do everything for you or nothing. He's either all of your righteousness or none.

When the world sees us doing evangelism, they just see us recruiting. When they see us doing justice, they see God's glory.
