Some pastors believe that we should avoid delving too deeply into theology for fear that it might drive people away.

However, the deeper we go in our study of theology, the deeper we go in our knowledge of God, awe of God, love of God, humility before God, and worship of God.

One of the greatest enemies of true Christianity is “spirituality.”

People believe they are good with God because they say 'I am a spiritual person.'

The truth is that everyone is a spiritual person. The question is: Whose spirit do you possess?

Many churches have programmed the life out of people that they barely have any time left for their own families, let alone widows and orphans.

Regular, ordinary, gathered worship on the Lord’s Day is like a weekly family reunion with complete strangers crashing the party and the family welcoming them and being happy they came.

The gospel is God’s gospel. The gospel originates with God, it belongs to God, and it is all about what God has done for his people through Christ by the Spirit. Because it’s his gospel, we must not mess with it, dilute it, change it, or complicate it.

Missions is not simply a by-product of church life and theology. Missions belongs to the very essence of the church.

The more we grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ, the more we pray for his return on good days rather than just on bad days.

The gospel isn't a summons to work harder to reach God, it's the story of how God sovereignly worked all things together to reach you.

Just as our love for one another demonstrates that we are disciples of Christ, our love for our enemies demonstrates that we are sons of our Father.

Dear fellow pastors:

We're shepherds, and shepherds are servants of the master who owns the sheep.

We're also sheep, and sheep are dependent and in need of their shepherd's care.

We're among the flock, not above—we're not gurus looking down from on high, we're servants among.

When we focus on self we see nothing.
When we focus on others we see the specks in their eyes.
When we focus on Christ we see the logs in our own eyes.

If you want to be discouraged and disappointed in life, place all your confidence in yourself and your expectations in people rather than in God.

The local church is the only place on earth where little children, the elderly, families, singles, widows, and adopted orphans—from different ancestries, colors, and socio-economic backgrounds—come together to sing songs of victory, partake of one supper, and confess one faith.
