christian thinking political
When it comes to engaging and influencing culture, too many Christians think too highly of political activism.
thinking grace littles
Disobedience happens not when we think too much grace but when we think too little of it
humility thinking worry
God reminds us again and again that things between He and us are forever fixed. They are the rendezvous points where God declares to us concretely that the debt has been paid, the ledger put away, and that everything we need, in Christ we already possess. This re-convincing produces humility, because we realize that our needs are fulfilled. We don’t have to worry about ourselves anymore. This in turn frees us to stop looking out for what we think we need and liberates us to love our neighbor by looking out for what they need.
thinking church moments
I actually think one of most profoundly and deep pastoral moments between a pastor and his church is what happens between them before God in the context of preaching.
christian simple thinking
I think for far too long the Church has concluded that Christians don't need the gospel, it's simple what non-Christian people need in order to be saved.
thinking important church
I think it's super important for the church itself to rediscover the gospel.
thinking church tribes
I think there is tribalism is a big deal inside of the church, that the church thinks of themselves as a tribe and not a mission.
thinking artist doctors
The gospel brings things together. One of the great demonstration of the gospel's power is reconciliation. I've got friends who are surfers, doctors, lawyers, artists and entertainers. Some people are cool and some people are geeky. I look around at my friends and I think, only the gospel has the power to put together a friendship like this.
thinking people church
God wants every local church to be the first place people think to go when they've really messed up...not the last.
thinking people doe
God does everything through people who understand they're nothing. And God does nothing through those who think they're everything.
jesus thinking littles
I was spending way too much time thinking about me and what I needed to do, and far too little time thinking about Jesus and what he had already done for me.
spiritual thinking too-much
I was spending too much time thinking about how I was doing, if I was learning everything I was supposed to be learning during this difficult season, whether I was doing it right or not, taking my spiritual pulse, etc - my inner lawyer was working overtime.
thinking people think-of-me
The gospel doesn't just free me from what people think of me, but also from what I think of me.
thinking news offensive
The gospel is good news to those who know they don't measure up. It's offensive to those who think they do.
