"How, then, are the blind made to see? Just as Bartimaeus was: by going to Jesus and calling out to Him for mercy, asking for the loving forgiveness and new life that only He can provide. You will never know Jesus Christ as a reality in your life until you know Him as a necessity."

“There is no room for complacency in the Christian life, no matter what you have done and seen and no matter what you’re standing in your church.”

"As with a weaned child, it's important for us as spiritual children to recognize that we don't always know what's best for ourselves. We can trust that our Father in heaven knows best."

“We cannot be passive or indecisive regarding who Christ is to us. Is He the Savior or is He no one? To abstain from a decision about this, as Pilate sought to do, is to abstain from Christ altogether.”

"Jesus can get past locked doors; He can get through to hardened hearts. Through His death and resurrection, He was able to bridge the gap that sin has opened between rebellious humanity and a righteous God. We must receive he salvation He freely offers. It must be fresh in our minds each day."

“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.”

“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.”
