If anything becomes more fundamental than God to your happiness, meaning of life, and identity then it is an idol.

If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.

God's Kingdom is "present in its beginnings, but still future in its fullness. This guards us from an under-realized eschatology (expecting no change now) and an over-realized eschatology (expecting all change now). In this stage, we embrace the reality that while we're not yet what we will be, we're also no longer what we used to be.

We are called not simply to communicate the gospel to nonbelievers; we must also intentionally celebrate the gospel before them.

If we can't "love the sinner; hate the sin" then how can we relate to ourselves? Love who we are in Christ but still hate the sin remaining.

Just because we don't see a reason for evil and suffering doesn't mean there's not a reason for it.

It is no more narrow to claim that one religion is right than to claim that one way to think about all religions is right.
