It's okay to be a short-term pessimist, as long as you're a long-term optimist; we know what's coming, so we can make it, we can persevere. God is full of grace when we are not.

Take all the broken pieces of the past and build an altar; pour out your life and desires and ask God to take them and consume them with His will, His forgiveness, and His power.

Don't get caught up looking at the tapestry of life from the bottom side, where the threads are crossed, knotted, and frayed; from God's perspective, it's a beautiful masterpiece, flawless and artful, skillfully woven together with great purpose.

Pride is a killer... for real. May God help us by His grace to be humble and submit to Him.

Don’t ever think personal theology doesn’t have public consequences.

It's time for the church to stop taking offense, and to start going on the offensive.

There are costs and benefits, as well as consequences, that come with liberty.

We're not about reformation but regeneration. God has saved us, but he wants to be able to use us and let His Light flow through us; we have to be clean for that to happen.
