The essence of Christian obedience is not do’s and don’ts but personal allegiance to Jesus.

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

It takes more than a great church to reach a city, it takes a great movement of churches.

Love is primarily giving. It’s an action that leads to a feeling, not a feeling first.

If you want God's grace, all you need is need, all you need is nothing.

We modern people think of miracles as the suspension of the natural order, but Jesus meant them to be the restoration of the natural order. The Bible tells us that God did not originally make the world to have disease, hunger, and death in it. Jesus has come to redeem where it is wrong and heal the world where it is broken. His miracles are not just proofs that he has power but also wonderful foretastes of what he is going to do with that power. Jesus' miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming.
