Christian Living

“The tenor of scriptural prophecy that tells us that God’s people will take the gospel effectively to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8), does not indicate that there will be gradual warming to God’s people as we move forward toward the Kingdom.” - Kevin Schaal

“This parable reminds us that it is a sin to squander what God has given us. He has given us three main resources: time, treasure, and talent, and all three work together for the flourishing of the world, for the flourishing of ourselves, and for the glory of God.” - IFWE

“We don’t want to be ashamed of the gospel. We want to bring our whole, true selves to work. But it seems that perceptions of Christians are so negative these days.” - TGC

“Obviously, if the choice is between the gospel and religion, I’ll take the gospel. But what if by relentlessly denigrating ‘religion,’ we are creating as many problems as we are trying to solve?” - Kevin DeYoung

“While coming to that recognition did not immediately heal the wounds, it was a huge step in the right direction…. No longer did I have to live in bondage to my hard feelings.” - Chuck Lawless

“In former days Christians spoke often of duty…. They longed to be dutiful in devotion, dutiful in obedience, dutiful in every responsibility and every role. They believed that from their duty would grow a deepening delight.” - Challies

“’You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip’ (Ps. 18:36)….The Lord has not set us on a tightrope. He has given us a wide place to walk, a place where we take steps with confidence” - TGC

“…what should you do when you begin feeling discontent at your church? What should you do when you feel that yearning to pick up and move on?” - Challies

“The early church had been praying for Peter’s release from prison, yet they were surprised when God actually responded (Acts 12:1-17). The story would be comical if it didn’t so clearly describe us” - C.Lawless
