“We are not called to bring a broken planet back to its created glory. But we are to call broken people back to their creator.”

“Here’s good news: God is even more committed to your change, your growth, and your transformation than you are.”
“Live for God. Obey the Scriptures. Think of others before yourself. Be holy. Love Jesus. And as you do these things, do whatever else you like, with whomever you like, wherever you like, and you’ll be walking in the will of God.”
“God did not send a concept, an idea, or a virtue. He sent his Son. Follow the God of love, not love as your god.”
