“The gospel should meet people at the point of their deepest confusion and at the height of their loftiest ideals. What matters most is that we bring Christ into every moment of human history and every point of human concern.”
― Christopher W. Brooks, Urban Apologetics: Why the Gospel Is Good News for the City

“The tendency to view the holistic work of the church as the action of the privileged toward the marginalized often derails the work of true community healing. Ministry in the urban context, acts of justice and racial reconciliation require a deeper engagement with the other—an engagement that acknowledges suffering rather than glossing over it.”
― Soong-Chan Rah, Prophetic Lament: A Call for Justice in Troubled Times

“Rest is synonymous with grace, which is never seized by force but always taken hold of freely by faith.”
― John Koessler, The Radical Pursuit of Rest

“We must accept the fact of the presence of the flesh (Rom. 7:25c), but must refuse its influence in our lives as a power cancelled by Christ's death; and we must regard that potential for evil as an unwelcome residue which we are to mortify by faith in Christ's death, and keep it near the fringe of our lives until we are finally separated from it at death.”
― William Still
