“The gospel is not a debate or a list of things to believe. The gospel is a person. Jesus Christ is the gospel. He is the truth. He is the point. He embodies all of the salvation/redemption/forgiveness/freedom stuff Himself, and because He is a personality, He does not require doctrinal mastery to connect with an individual.” (source)
“If Jesus were living my life right now and He were here doing what I’m doing, would He be pleased or want to do something else?” (source)
“ Too often I try to win allies to my point of view rather than pointing to Jesus.” (source)
“Relax. Enjoy your friends. Enjoy their company along with the company of Jesus. Point Him out, freely, without fear or intimidation. You’re not responsible to sell Him to them. You’re simply saying what you’ve seen. You’re not the judge. You’re the witness.” (source)
“However, where we go terribly off course is when we lead a conversation with doctrine rather than Jesus Himself.” (source)
