“The essence of what the Bible calls sin is the exaltation of self. God has designed us to put him first in our lives,
others next, and ourselves last. Yet sin reverses that order: we put ourselves first, others next (many times in
an attempt to use them for ourselves), and God somewhere (if anywhere) in the distant background. We
turn from worshiping God to worshiping self.”
- David Platt Counter Culture

“Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.”
- 2 Corinthians 5:18-20

“The church – a healthy church – is the hermeneutic of the gospel. It’s the way that the
gospel comes to life. It’s the way that people can taste and smell the gospel.”
