It is always helpful to us to fix our attention on the God-ward aspect of Christian work – to realize that the work of God does not mean so much man’s work for God as God’s own work through man.

“The Christian life makes no room for independent agents, onlookers, renters. We who are washed in the blood of Christ are stakeholders.”

“When the church becomes accidental to Christianity, the weekly gathering becomes merely a social opportunity to confirm our prior personal experience with God. We've lost the sense of the church as the center of our corporate identity because we've lost a sense of any corporate identity at all.”

“Are Christians victims of this post-Christian world? No. Sadly, Christians are coconspirators. We embrace modernism’s perks when they serve our own lusts and selfish ambitions. We despise modernism when it crosses lines of our precious moralism. Our cold and hard hearts; our failure to love the stranger; our selfishness with our money, our time, and our home; and our privileged back turned against widows, orphans, prisoners, and refugees mean we are guilty in the face of God of withholding love and Christian witness. And even more serious is our failure to read our Bibles well enough to see that the creation ordinance and the moral law, found first in the Old Testament, is as binding to the Christian as any red letter. Our own conduct condemns our witness to this world.”
