The miracles of Jesus were not stunts. They were previews of coming attractions.

"It's not that hard to build a cool church. But to be a new kind of community where Christ is present in power? You have to receive that."

The Spirit of God does not make people weird. The Holy Spirit of God makes people like Jesus.

Humility is the key to everything we desire in our own deepest intentions.

Do I want to come across as impressive or do I want to be known?

He does not shame us.

People need to see how crazy wonderful it is to enjoy someone else getting all the glory for a change.
