Chris

“A church that loses its distinctiveness is a church that has nothing distinctive with which to engage the culture. A worldly church is of no good to the world.”
― Russell D. Moore, Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel

“The church is a signpost of God’s coming kingdom (Eph. 3:10), a preview to the watching world of what the reign of God in Christ is to look like, a colony of the kingdom coming.”
― Russell D. Moore, Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel

“A job is a vocation only if someone else calls you to do it for them rather than for yourself. And so our work can be a calling only if it is reimagined as a mission of service to something beyond merely our own interests. Thinking of work mainly as a means of self-fulfillment and self-realization slowly crushes a person.”
― Timothy Keller, Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God's Plan for the World

“The wilderness where faith can thrive is the very desert where it can dry up and die if we are not watchful.”
― Jeff Manion, The Land Between: Finding God in Difficult Transitions
