“But the way to tell whether in fact you are evangelizing is not to ask whether conversions are known to have resulted from your witness. It is to ask whether you are faithfully making known the gospel message.”

“The results of preaching depend, not on the wishes and intentions of men, but on the will of God Almighty.
This consideration does not mean that we should be indifferent as to whether we see fruit from our witness to Christ or not; if fruit is not appearing, we should seek God's face about it to find out why. But this consideration does mean that we ought not to define evangelism in terms of achieved results.”

“Fear is a Liar! The narrator of OCD is constructed by fear. The alarmist narrative of fear needs to be exposed for the liar that it is. Yes”

“In the Bible, divine sovereignty and human responsibility are not enemies. They are not uneasy neighbors; they are not in an endless state of cold war with each other. They are friends, and they work together.”

“Do you want to be like Jesus? If so, you need to wrestle with the fact that Jesus was a missionary. It is a life changing experience to realize that you worship a missionary. And that missionary is sending you on mission with him (Matthew 28:18–20), which is kind of like going to work with your dad. Going to work with your dad is awesome because you get the satisfaction of being with him, he will keep you from screwing up his work, and he’s just glad you’re there with him. This is the essence of what it means to be sent on mission with Jesus.”
