Honor the image of God. Human beings are not accidents, but creations.

The world says you are loved because of what you do. Jesus says you can now do all things because you are loved.

If you don't love the poor, you don't know what God's done for you.

When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride.

A genuinely persuasive argument does not merely tell you that you are wrong about everything. It doesn't just beat on you from the outside. It comes inside your belief system, as it were, and affirms something you believe strongly. And then it says - well if you believe this (A) then why in the world can't you see that B is true?

Christ's resurrection not only gives you hope for the future; it gives you hope to handle your scars right now.

If we are deeply moved by the sight of his love for us, it detaches our hearts from other would-be saviors. We stop trying to redeem ourselves through our pursuits and relationships, because we are already redeemed. We stop trying to make others into saviors, because we have a Savior.
