Our character is determined not by our circumstances but by our reaction to those circumstances.
Remain at your post and do your duty – for the glory of God and His kingdom.
Our society’s obsession with tolerance leads to intolerance. Simply being a Christian today is an offense to our culture.
Christians should never have a political party. It is a huge mistake to become married to an ideology, because the greatest enemy of the gospel is ideology. Ideology is a man-made format of how the world ought to work, and Christians instead believed in the revealing truth Scripture.
Moral crusaders with zeal but no ethical understanding are likely to give us solutions that are worse than the problems.
Tolerance once meant that we could use our reason to discern good and evil in open debate. Today tolerance has been used to call good evil and evil good.
God doesn’t want our success; He wants us. He doesn’t demand our achievements; He demands our obedience.
Hostility to religion is having an effect. In 1963, the number of Americans who said that they believed the Bible is literally true was 65%. Today, the number has dropped to 32%.
When it comes to the culture, there’s no such thing as peaceful coexistence. If we’re not defending truth, fighting for Christian values in all of life, the truth will be sacrificed on the altar of mainstream secularism.
One of the most wonderful things about being a Christian is that I don’t ever get up in the morning and wonder if what I do matters. I live every day to the fullest because I can live it through Christ and I know no matter what I do today, I’m going to do something to advance the Kingdom of God.
Redeeming culture is the never ending mission of the church.
Knowing that we are fulfilling God’s purpose is the only thing that gives rest to the restless human heart.
Power is like saltwater; the more you drink, the thirstier you get.
The Bible’s historical accuracy is a reminder that while “the heavens declare the glory of God,” there’s also plenty of evidence among the rubble and ruins.
If our culture is to be transformed, it will happen from the bottom up – from ordinary believers practicing apologetics over the backyard fence or around the barbecue grill.
We must be the same person in private and in public. Only the Christian worldview gives us the basis for this kind of integrity.
What we do flows from who we are.
The true mark of a Christian leader is trying to build up other people. Raise up other leaders!
Frontline love. It is our one hope for breaking down barriers and for restoring the sense of community, of caring for one another, that our decadent, impersonalized culture has sucked out of us.
Judeo-Christian revelation is not the negative influence secularists proclaim it to be. Rather, it is the taproot of our civilization.
