“We desperately need to explore how much of our understanding of the gospel is American and how much is biblical.”
“Yet in the American dream, where self reigns as King (or Queen), we have a dangerous tendency to misunderstand, minimize, and even manipulate the gospel in order to accomodate our assumptions and our desires. As a result, we desperately need to explore how much of our understanding of the gospel is American and how much is biblical.”
“Sometimes we need to be apart to understand just how much we truly love each other .”
“How different our standard is from Christ's. We ask how much a man gives. Christ asks how much he keeps.”
“It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love is put in the giving.”
“How much has to be explored and discarded before reaching the naked flesh of feeling.”
