Let’s not forget that we’re good news people living in a bad-news world.

After reading several dozen church planting manuals over the past few years, I’ve yet to see one with a chapter entitled, “Don’t freak out, they’re just gonna hate you.”

It is vital that senders see the immense value and importance of their role in getting the gospel across the street and around the world.

The world’s picture of the sexually liberated woman isn’t empowered at all; rather, she’s enslaved by the deception that becoming a commitment-free object of lust was all her idea.

This is the good news of the gospel. Words that didn’t make sense together make sense now because of the death and resurrection of Jesus.​

The work of Christ applied to our hearts is such an unstoppable, unopposable force that it refigures us entirely.

In a world erupting with grief, fear, and wrath, sometimes prayerful silence is the best revolution.

If a Christian can by possibility be saved while he conforms to this world, at any rate it must be so as by fire. 

God’s love for the world and desire to provide salvation is why God became man.
