“You and I can choose to continue with business as usual in the Christian life and in the church as a whole, enjoying success based on the standards defined by the culture around us. Or we can take an honest look at the Jesus of the Bible and dare to ask what the consequences might be if we really believed him and really obeyed him.”
― David Platt, Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream

“God's capacity to forgive is greater than our capacity to sin; while our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. It's a message revealing the radical contrast between the sinful heart of mankind and the gracious heart of mankind's Creator.”
― Tullian Tchividjian, Surprised by Grace: God's Relentless Pursuit of Rebels

“Legalism breeds a sense of entitlement that turns us into complainers.”
