“As it turns out, the gospel is for disciples, not just for “sinners;” it saves and transforms people in relationship, not merely individuals who go it alone.”
― Jonathan K. Dodson, Gospel-Centered Discipleship

“You see, then, that the most anyone can do is point people to Jesus as the sole Source of Life. They may experience Life through us, but we cannot give them Life ourselves. To those bound by Organized Religion, Jesus cries, “You search the Scriptures, because you think in them you have Life. You are content to read about Me, but you will not come to Me that you may have Life” (John 5:39,40, paraphrased). Come to Me! Not, “Memorize these Three Easy Steps and attend the Church of your choice this Sunday.” “Come to Me!” He is Life.”

“Buddha, Confucius, or Socrates can bring us good teaching, moral excellence, and religious philosophy. For this they may be commended as rendering help and aid to humanity. But Jesus Christ is different: He brings us Himself as our Life.”

“If we really believed that porn and gossip were based on lies that don’t satisfy, we wouldn’t participate in them.”
