The cross [is] the ultimate statement of God's involvement in the world on this side of heaven.

Christianity is not about good people getting better. If anything, it is good news for bad people coping with their failure to be good. The heart of the Christian faith is Good News, not good advice, good technique, or good behavior. Too many people have walked away from the church, not because they’re walking away from Jesus, but because the church has walked away from Jesus.

The gospel doesn't just ignite the Christian life but it keeps Christians growing and growing every day. There's no reason to move beyond the gospel. There's only movement more into it.

The heart of the Christian faith is Good News, not good advice, good technique, or good behavior.

When we reduce the notion of “calling” to work inside the church, we fail to equip our people to apply their Christian faith to everything they do, everywhere they are.

God wants every local church to be the first place people think to go when they've really messed up...not the last.

My job is not to show my children that I'm the man, but to show them that Christ is the man.
