Trying to make the Gospel relevant is like trying to make water wet.

So relational evangelism? Go for it, as long as it turns into real evangelism. You hanging out having a beer with your buddy so he can see that Christians are cool is not what we’re called to do. You’re eventually going to have to open up your mouth and share the gospel. When the pure gospel is shared, people respond.

The more you make this world about you, the more miserable you will be.

If we could understand how impossible our situation is, we would grow in reverence for the kingship of Christ.

There isn’t a violent soul on the planet that God might not save and transform for himself.

You and I are stymied in our own creativity. We can only create as sub-creators, and even then our best work is only sub-creation.

When God saves you, he doesn’t do it because you gave him permission. He did it because he’s God.

A Church worshipping as a Creature of the Word doesn't show up to perform or be entertained she comes desperate and needy, thirsty for grace, receiving from The Lord and the body of Christ, and then gratefully receiving what she needs as she offers her praise- the only proper response to the God who saves us.

While the good news of the gospel may not appeal to everyone, the bad news of the gospel still applies to everyone.

When we see the bankruptcy, slavery, and vanity of everything else, we can finally say, ‘To die is gain.’

Find the things that stir your affections for Christ and saturate your life in them. Find the things that rob you of that affection and walk away from them. That's the Christian life as easy as I can explain it for you.

What drives me mad in evangelical circles, including some young Reformed circles, is that there is often a sit-on-the-couch-and-wait-for-God-to-do-something mentality that is unbiblical and wicked. It's probably been true of every generation, but I can see it most clearly in the younger crowd. There seems to be so little war when it comes to sin.

Preach the Gospel with your life.

It's OK to not be OK - just don't stay there.

All ministry that is faithful & eventually fruitful finds its roots in the life, death, & resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The reconciling gospel is always at the forefront of the church’s social action, because a full belly is not better than a reconciled soul.
Matt Chandler
Image
This avoidance of the difficult things of Scripture — of sinfulness and hell and God’s notable severity — is idolatrous and cowardly. If a man or a woman who teaches the Scriptures is afraid to explain to you the severity of God, they have betrayed you, and they love their ego more than they love you.

The cross of Christ exists because mankind-loved by God, created by God, set in motion by God-betrayed God and prefers his stuff to him.

Church of Jesus, let us please be men and women who understand the difference between moralism and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let’s be careful to preach the dos and don’ts of Scripture in the shadow of the cross’s ‘Done!’
