“One very difficult aspect of sin is that my sin never feels like sin to me. My sin feels like life to me, plain and simple. My heart is an idol factory, and my mind is an excuse-making factory.”

“Mary offers nothing to women or men who seek to run their own lives. Without question, Mary is subservient. There remains a hierarchy—not between Romans and Jews, rich and poor, or men and women but between God and humanity—and Mary stands in the place of the slave rather than the master.”

“The word “righteous” used to grate on my ear; for years I was able to hear it only in its negative mode, as self-righteous, as judgmental. Gradually, as I became more acquainted with the word in its biblical context, I found that it does not mean self-righteous at all, but righteous in the sight of God. And this righteousness is consistently defined by the prophets, and in the psalms and gospels, as a willingness to care for the most vulnerable people in a culture, characterized in ancient Israel as orphans, widows, resident aliens, and the poor.”

“Jesus Christ is our destination. He is our end goal. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus. We are running the race and striving to cross the finish line. The family of the redeemed stand in the risen Christ alone. Our finish line is Christ. It is for this reality I live. It is for this reality I'm willing to die. And it is for this reality I wrote this book.”

“Are Christians victims of this post-Christian world? No. Sadly, Christians are coconspirators. We embrace modernism’s perks when they serve our own lusts and selfish ambitions. We despise modernism when it crosses lines of our precious moralism. Our cold and hard hearts; our failure to love the stranger; our selfishness with our money, our time, and our home; and our privileged back turned against widows, orphans, prisoners, and refugees mean we are guilty in the face of God of withholding love and Christian witness. And even more serious is our failure to read our Bibles well enough to see that the creation ordinance and the moral law, found first in the Old Testament, is as binding to the Christian as any red letter. Our own conduct condemns our witness to this world.”
