“Scripture requires that true worship and faithful teaching are to focus on dealing with the sins of the church and believers, instead of the sins of those outside the church, in the world. The sharpest criticisms in Jesus’ teaching are reserved for those who see themselves as devoted worshipers of the Lord. We do not see Jesus condemning the sinners in the world; rather, he condemns the leaders of God’s people with his severest words.”

“Christ has loved us in our great need. He asks us to lift up our eyes and show a little of this love to those around us.”

“Children disrupt plans, and blessedly so. They might disrupt yours. It’s easy to resent this disruption and lash out against it, perhaps not in murder but in the anger that’s the root of murder (Matt. 5:21–22).”
