Excerpts:
“The gospel is not just the ABCs of Christianity, but the A to Z.”
“The extravagant, spendthrift love of God is the most profound reality in the universe.”
“The gospel is not religion or irreligion, morality or immorality, moralism or relativism, conservatism or liberalism. It is something else entirely.”
