Then I said, “Lord God, please stop! How can Jacob stand, for he is small?” The Lord changed His mind about this. “This too shall not be,” said the Lord God. (Amos 7:5–6) Prayer works.

Christ pleads the cause of believers by his blood. Unlike other advocates, it is not enough for him to lay out only words, but he pleads for us by the voice of his own blood.

Look then, look then, by an eye of faith, to that God-man whom you have pierced. Behold him bleeding, panting, dying upon the cross, with arms stretched out ready to embrace you all.

The Church is not an organisation of spiritual giants. It is broken men and women who can lead others to the Cross.

The deepest motive for mission is simply the desire to be with Jesus where he is, on the frontier between the reign of God and the usurped dominion of the devil.

If this biblical story is not the one that really controls our thinking then inevitably we shall be swept into the story that the world tells about itself. We shall become increasingly indistinguishable from the pagan world of which we are a part.

A community of people that, in the midst of all the pain and sorrow and wickedness in the world, is continually praising God is the first obvious result of living by another story than the one the world lives by.

The great basis of Christian assurance is not how much our hearts are set on God, but how unshakably his heart is set on us.

Mission begins with a kind of explosion of joy. The news that the rejected and crucified Jesus is alive is something that cannot possibly be suppressed.

For the apostles of Jesus, apocalyptic eschatology was not an optional or fringe doctrine when it came to making disciples. History is headed toward a climactic day of judgment and justice, and how one lives now must accord with how we are destined to live in the age to come.

The choice for the church in every age will always be, Will our identity be shaped by Scripture or by our culture—by the biblical story or the cultural story?
