Ultimately I think the difference between reading the Bible and studying it is making the connections between who Jesus is and what he's done.

The goal of Christian dating is not to have a boyfriend or girlfriend but to find a spouse. Have that in mind as you get to know one an- other, and if you’re not ready to commit to a relationship with the end goal of marriage, it’s better not to date but simply to remain friends.

You're either selfish, or you're a servant...but fundamentally selfish people are terrible friends, terrible lovers, terrible spouses, terrible Christians, terrible parents. They leave a terrible legacy. Will you be selfish? Will you be a servant?...A good marriage is a servant and a servant.

So I decided to start a church, for three reasons. First, I hated going to church and wanted one I liked, so I thought I would just start my own. Second, God had spoken to me in one of those weird charismatic moments and told me to start a church. Third, I am scared of God and try to do what he says.

The inevitable result of borrowed faith is lost faith. People born into a family anchored in Christendom tend to assume they're right with God, regardless of whether they personally turn from sin and trust in Jesus.

Being single is not easy. But neither is being married. They are just difficult in different ways as God uses everything in our life to make us more like Jesus, who happened to live a perfect life while single.

Gentleman, it is a terrifying thing for a woman to trust a sinful man.

A lot of people are using the Church, but not a lot of people are loving the Church.

We're not to follow our hearts, we're to guard our hearts.

God is tolerant in that He asks everyone to repent.

I want to live with autonomy. That's the essence of sin.

Work like an Arminian, sleep like a Calvinist.

Idols tend to be good things that you have turned into god things, which therefore become bad things

Some will tell you that there are multiple worldviews. The Bible says we have only 2: the Truth and the Lie.

Stop looking for the path of least resistance and start running down the path of greatest glory to God and good to others, because that's what Jesus, the Real Man, did.
