As long as I am focusing on the faults of others, then I don't have to face my own.

Only when you realize that the gospel has nothing to do with your obedience but with Christ's obedience for you, will you start to obey. The only Christians who end up getting better are those who realize that if they don't get better, God will love them anyway.

God does everything through people who understand they're nothing. And God does nothing through those who think they're everything.

The gospel is not about a lifestyle that we live, it's about the law-fulfilling life that Christ lived.

Even political insiders recognize that years of political effort on behalf of Evangelical Christians have generated little cultural gain.

Walking with God doesn't lead to God's favor; God's favor leads to walking with God.

The gospel brings things together. One of the great demonstration of the gospel's power is reconciliation. I've got friends who are surfers, doctors, lawyers, artists and entertainers. Some people are cool and some people are geeky. I look around at my friends and I think, only the gospel has the power to put together a friendship like this.
