Every Christian & church is headed for either reformation & revival OR retreat & ruin. There’s no middle ground.

All men are dead in their sin. Our calling as Christians is not to plan their funeral, but to plan for their resurrection.

When we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, we’re not just remembering the past, we’re tasting the future.

Any like betrayal before us – or the one Jesus experienced: In the end, because events don't determine God's plan—God's plan determines events—He will use evil to do the opposite of what was intended.

Take heart: Our Savior sits in active, sovereign control over all the things that would confuse, overwhelm, surprise, disappoint, or disturb you.

We must champion both the inclusiveness & exclusiveness of Jesus because this is the struggle that makes Jesus so irresistibly compelling to all who truly know him.

Stand by every word of Jesus Christ—the ones the world loves, & the ones the world hates.

Christ is coming soon! Be ready. It is going to be difficult – but we aren’t home yet. Keep your heart clean & your teeth brushed.

Deep longings for Jesus' return should be matched—or overmatched—by a deep engagement with Jesus' mission to reach the world with the Gospel.
