If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it.

We make time for what we truly value. We build habits and routines around the things that really matter to us. This is an important principle to understand as we seek to build our lives around the gospel. Do you want a cross centered life? A cross centered life is made up of cross centered days.

Christians are hard to tolerate; I don’t know how Jesus does it

It is not about doing what we feel like. It is about doing what God says.

We are the Bibles the world is reading; We are the creeds the world is needing; We are the sermons the world is heeding.

In truth,there was only one christian and he died on the cross.
