It is impossible to forgive someone if you feel superior to him or her.

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

When you experience God it is deeply personal, but it's not at all private.

Because of the Cross, God can be both just towards sin and yet mercifully justifying to sinners.

Because sin is not just breaking the rules, it is putting yourself in the place of God as Savior, Lord, and Judge just as each son sought to displace the authority of the father in his own life.

It is one thing to say that science is only equipped to test for natural causes and cannot speak to any others. It is quite another to insist that science proves that no other causes could possibly exist. . . . There would be no experimental model for testing the statement: 'No supernatural cause for any natural phenomenon is possible.' It is therefore a philosophical presupposition and not a scientific finding.

The gospel has supernatural versatility to address the particular hopes, fears, and idols of every culture and every person.
