“The Bible teaches that we actually ought to think about everything, but that we need to learn to do so from a biblical perspective (2 Corinthians 10:5). We should consider music, engineering, medicine, art justice, freedom, and love—the whole gamut of human existence—through the lens of the revealed truths of God‘s word.”

“You may be facing difficult or even a heartbreaking circumstance at the moment; and if you are not, then that day will come, for this is a fallen world. But in those moments, you can cling to God's love and choose to trust God's goodness, expressed most clearly at the cross."

“And David has the spiritual maturity and humility to acknowledge that what he feels is true does not align with what he knows is actually true.”

“God did not immediately give [Adam and Eve] what they justly deserved; rather, out of His immense kindness, He granted what was not deserved: an opportunity to respond and return.”

“Conversely, if we continually harbor enmity, grudges, and bitterness in our hearts, we not only harm our own lives and jeopardize our relationships, but frankly we also call into question whether we’ve ever truly discovered the nature of God’s forgiveness at all.”

“Yes, we do decide to follow Christ—but it is so humbling to recognize that we could never have chosen God if He had not chosen us before the creation of the world. You would not be capable of deciding to follow Him if He had not first decided to make you His child.”

“We become like the company we keep. The same should be true for us in our walk with Christ.”

“We tend to have an unhealthy preoccupation with being regarded as significant, intellectually sensible, and socially acceptable. When has that ever been an effective strategy for the work of the gospel?”

"Just as we say no to sin when we receive Christ's salvation, we must also say not to secrecy about our faith. Either our discipleship will destroy our secrecy, or our secrecy will destroy our discipleship."

"When we pray 'Lord, lead us not into temptation,' what we're really saying is 'God, help us so that we do not let the testing which comes from you become a temptation from Satan to do evil.' We are likewise asking Him not to lead us into trial without His presence and power, which are what will keep us walking through them in faith and joy instead of sinking in despair and faithlessness."
