With gospel-centered productivity, peace comes first, not second. the mistake we often make is to make peace of mind the result of things we do rather than the source. ~ Matt Perman
Gospel Centered quotes by Matt Perman
Miracle focus messages compels masses to think that the process of production is not necessary for prosperity ~ Sunday Adelaja
Gospel Centered quotes by Sunday Adelaja
The weekly worship service can be very effective in evangelism of non-Christians and in edification of Christians if it does not aim at either alone but is gospel centered and in the vernacular. ~ Timothy Keller
Gospel Centered quotes by Timothy Keller
Of course, if one does not fully trust the promise of God's Kingdom, he will have a hard time taking risks and making sacrifices in this life. A gospel centered around the temporal self - fleeting happiness, earthly success, vain prosperity, things such as these - is the primary ambition of the half-hearted Christian; the one who somewhat believes he is subject to an eternal death; the one who just might believe in men before God, who morbidly fears seeming less than anyone else. The man of this school feels deeply that he has but one life to live, that this must be his only chance, and therefore must have it all in his favor - from glory to comfort to riches - and have it right this instant. He is but hinting that he is overcome because he insists always that he must overcome, that his judgment comes now and by the persons around him. The point is, however, in this sense, that by grace the Christian is indeed free, but only for as long as he wants to be free - the practicality of true freedom: that of God which offers not so much freedom to be like the world as it does freedom from the pressures of having to be like the world. For Divine Law is based solely on love and freedom; whereas secular law, pressure and imitation. ~ Criss Jami
Gospel Centered quotes by Criss Jami
The Bible does not deny that we were various things - addicts, homosexuals, hateful, prideful, pornographic masturbators - but that is what we were (past tense) (1 Cor. 6:9-11; Titus 3:3-5). The emphasis in Scripture is on what we are and what we are called to be. The Christian does not say, Hello, my name is _____ and I am an X Y or Z." The Christian says I was dead, but now I am alive. The Christian says I am a struggling sinner, yet I am a saint. The Christians says I am a new creation; I am transformed. ~ Paul O'Brien
Gospel Centered quotes by Paul O'Brien
People who've been hit with the gospel respond naturally with radically changed lives and hearts. The church and the ministries of the church are gospel centered when they flow from hearts that are afire with wonder at the glory and grace of God, revealed in the person of Jesus. ~ Daniel Montgomery
Gospel Centered quotes by Daniel Montgomery
In other words, ongoing peace of mind comes through faith in Christ expressed in day-to-day life. This is the kind of peace that can endure even when everything is going haywire and we are simply unable to keep up with things. Why? Because it is not based on us. Just as we do good works from justification rather than for justification, we are also to do good works from peace rather than for peace. With gospel-centered productivity, peace comes first, not second. ~ Matt Perman
Gospel Centered quotes by Matt Perman
Without a gospel-centered approach to productivity, we can easily fall into a law-based approach to the Christian life that kills our joy and freedom ~ Matt Perman
Gospel Centered quotes by Matt Perman
The product of a true, growing, gospel-centered nature is often gentleness. ~ Timothy Keller
Gospel Centered quotes by Timothy Keller
Now more than ever God's people must be committed to being gospel centered. Jesus can no longer be out there somewhere on the horizon as we look to culture, religion, politics, spirituality, or morality for our true north. ~ Mark Driscoll
Gospel Centered quotes by Mark Driscoll
A church without a gospel-centered purpose is no longer a church at all. ~ Thom S. Rainer
Gospel Centered quotes by Thom S. Rainer
But one of the unintended consequences of the Protestant Reformation, Taylor argues, was a disenchantment of the world. Critical of the ways such an enchanted, sacramental understanding of the world had lapsed into sheer superstition, the later Reformers emphasized the simple hearing of the Word, the message of the gospel, and the arid simplicity of Christian worship. The result was a process of excarnation - of disembodying the Christian faith, turning it into a "heady" affair that could be boiled down to a message and grasped with the mind. To use a phrase that we considered above, this was Christianity reduced to something for brains-on-a-stick. The ~ James K.A. Smith
Gospel Centered quotes by James K.A. Smith
We forget that the kingdom does not come through political plotting but through the proclamation of the gospel. We stretch our branches to the wrong king. ~ Jared C. Wilson
Gospel Centered quotes by Jared C. Wilson
In the gospel, we discover we are far worse off than we thought, and far more loved than we ever dreamed. ~ Steven Curtis Chapman
Gospel Centered quotes by Steven Curtis Chapman
If you are not changed by grace, you're probably not saved by grace. ~ Jonathan Hayashi
Gospel Centered quotes by Jonathan Hayashi
The gospel has two parts. It has the part that says you're a sinner, and it has the part that says you're loved and accepted. ~ Timothy Keller
Gospel Centered quotes by Timothy Keller
You may spoil the Gospel by substitution. You have only to withdraw from the eyes of the sinner the grand object which the Bible proposes to faith, - Jesus Christ; and to substitute another object in His place, - the Church, the Ministry, the Confessional, Baptism or the Lord's Supper, - and the mischief is done. Substitute anything for Christ, and the Gospel is totally spoiled! Do this, either directly or indirectly, and your religion ceases to be Evangelical. ~ J.C. Ryle
Gospel Centered quotes by J.C. Ryle
Though there is antipathy in the human heart to the gospel of Christ, yet when Christians make their good work shine, all admire them. It is when great disparity exists between profession and practice that we secure the scorn of mankind. ~ David Livingstone
Gospel Centered quotes by David Livingstone
As with most small town southerners, respectability was as much a part of my DNA as was my hair and eye color. It was the goal everyone strived for, the standard by which every citizen of Morganville was judged. And while my family, the Frenchs, weren't the richest- that honor going to Ian and Helena Morgan- we were one of the most respected. Thanks mostly to the Judge, my grandfather.

His name was Carl, but no one, including his daughters, had ever called him anything but Judge. He retired from the bench when I was five, and since my own father pulled a vanishing act shortly before my birth, the Judge stepped forward to fill that role for me. I thought the man walked on water and took every word from his lips as gospel.

"Alix," he told me. "Stay away from the railroad tracks. A wowzer cat lives under the trestle, and you don't want to get tangled up with one of those."

"What's a wowzer cat?" I asked, enthralled.

"It's a fifty pound cat with eight legs and nine bung holes, and it's meaner than a gar."

The Judge had an odd sense of humor. ~ Katherine Allred
Gospel Centered quotes by Katherine Allred
Johnny Cash had all of the same talents and problems as Elvis - a poor upbringing in the rural South exposure to gospel music throughout his childhood a penchant for drug abuse ... they had the same sort of influencing experiences but Johnny' Cash's problematic relationship was with his father not his mother. If he had had the mommy issues that Elvis had instead of a compelling need to prove himself to his father, he wouldn't have been the badass man in black, the guy in Folsom Prison watching the train roll by. Elvis was a lot of things but even with the karate and the gunplay he was more unstable than badass. ~ Molly Harper
Gospel Centered quotes by Molly Harper
The Christian story, centered as it is on the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, is the only story for making sense of desire and loss. ~ Jen Pollock Michel
Gospel Centered quotes by Jen Pollock Michel
There is a still small voice telling us what is right, and if we listen to that still small voice we shall grow and increase in strength and power, in testimony and in ability not only to live the gospel but to inspire others to do so. ~ Heber J. Grant
Gospel Centered quotes by Heber J. Grant
The gospel is for lifeboats, not showboats, and a man must make up his mind which boat he is going to operate. ~ Vance Havner
Gospel Centered quotes by Vance Havner
This illustrates the working of all false religions. They originate in man's desire to exalt himself above God, but they result in degrading man [287] below the brute. Every religion that wars against the sovereignty of God defrauds man of the glory which was his at the creation, and which is to be restored to him in Christ. Every false religion teaches its adherents to be careless of human needs, sufferings, and rights. The gospel places a high value upon humanity as the purchase of the blood of Christ, and it teaches a tender regard for the wants and woes of man. The Lord says, "I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir." Isaiah 13:12. When ~ Ellen G. White
Gospel Centered quotes by Ellen G. White
Show me someone without an ego, and I'll show you a loser. ~ Donald J. Trump
Gospel Centered quotes by Donald J. Trump
To marvel at the wonders of the gospel is a sign of faith. ~ Gerald Causse
Gospel Centered quotes by Gerald Causse
Believing again and again the gospel of God's free justifying grace every day is the hard work we're called to. ~ Tullian Tchividjian
Gospel Centered quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
I would urge a young player to listen to Charlie Christians' sense of time ... I'll never forget listening to my father (Bucky Pizzarelli) and Tal Farlow playing Christians' 'Solo Flight' backstage at a gig ... that's when it hit me how big of an effect Christian had on jazz guitar. 'Solo Flight' was like the gospel ... ~ John Pizzarelli
Gospel Centered quotes by John Pizzarelli
The law is for the self-righteous, to humble their pride: the gospel is for the lost, to remove their despair. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Gospel Centered quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
The fragility of human emotions are not to be trusted but to validate the necessity of Grace. ~ John Pauul Warren
Gospel Centered quotes by John Pauul Warren
The gospel of Jesus Christ has the answers to all of our problems. The gospel is not a secret. It is not complicated or hidden. It can unlock the door to true happiness. It is not someone's theory or proposition. It does not come from man at all. It springs from the pure and everlasting waters of the Creator of the universe, who knows truths we cannot even begin to comprehend. And with that knowledge, He has given us the gospel-a divine gift, the ultimate formula for happiness and success. ~ Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Gospel Centered quotes by Dieter F. Uchtdorf
While we thank God for them and their efforts, we must also know that our generation of believers have the responsibility to take the gospel a bit further ~ Sunday Adelaja
Gospel Centered quotes by Sunday Adelaja
As a magnifying glass concentrates the rays of the sun into a little burning knot of heat that can set fire to a dry leaf or a piece of paper, so the mystery of Christ in the Gospel concentrates the rays of God's light and fire to a point to set fire to the human spirit. ~ Thomas Merton
Gospel Centered quotes by Thomas Merton
Every day you preach to yourself a gospel of your loneliness, inability, and lack of resources or you faithfully preach to yourself the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. ~ Paul David Tripp
Gospel Centered quotes by Paul David Tripp
I love to come home and work on one of my other jobs. Just to remember that the floors gotta be mopped, and that everything isn't centered around what you fought about in Washington last week. ~ Chellie Pingree
Gospel Centered quotes by Chellie Pingree
I have been seized by the power of a great affection. ~ Brennan Manning
Gospel Centered quotes by Brennan Manning
The sheep-people don't think for themselves anymore. You can say anything and it's the gospel truth and they don't have to go research it or anything, and they believe everything the news tells them. People don't go and do their own investigations if it's relationships or politics or anything. ~ Big Boi
Gospel Centered quotes by Big Boi
The Gospel itself is angular. It always has been. It always conflicts. It always challenges every generation. It challenges different generations in different ways. ~ D. A. Carson
Gospel Centered quotes by D. A. Carson
God makes his gospel attractive through his people. ~ Gary Rohrmayer
Gospel Centered quotes by Gary Rohrmayer
Religion makes us proud of what we have done. The Gospel makes us proud of what Jesus has done. ~ Timothy Keller
Gospel Centered quotes by Timothy Keller
What distinguishes consciousness of self
from the world of nature is not the simple act of contemplation by which it identifies itself with the
exterior world and finds oblivion, but the desire it can feel with regard to the world. This desire reestablishes
its identity when it demonstrates that the exterior world is something apart. In its desire, the
exterior world consists of what it does not possess, but which nevertheless exists, and of what it would
like to exist but which no longer does. Consciousness of self is therefore, of necessity, desire. But in order
to exist it must be satisfied, and it can only be satisfied by the gratification of its desire. It therefore acts in
order to gratify itself and, in so doing, it denies and suppresses its means of gratification. It is the epitome
of negation. To act is to destroy in order to give birth to the spiritual reality of consciousness. But to
destroy an object unconsciously, as meat is destroyed, for example, in the act of eating, is a purely animal
activity. To consume is not yet to be conscious. Desire for consciousness must be directed toward
something other than unconscious nature. The only thing in the world that is distinct from nature is,
precisely, self-consciousness. Therefore desire must be centered upon another form of desire; selfconsciousness
must be gratified by another form of self-consciousness. In simple words, man is not
recognized - and ~ Albert Camus
Gospel Centered quotes by Albert Camus
Curiously enough, it seems that at times the spiritual side prevails, and then the materialistic side - in wave-like motions following each other. ...At one time the full flood of materialistic ideas prevails, and everything in this life - prosperity, the education which procures more pleasures, more food - will become glorious at first and then that will degrade and degenerate. Along with the prosperity will rise to white heat all the inborn jealousies and hatreds of the human race. Competition and merciless cruelty will be the watchword of the day. To quote a very commonplace and not very elegant English proverb, "Everyone for himself, and the devil take the hindmost", becomes the motto of the day. Then people think that the whole scheme of life is a failure. And the world would be destroyed had not spirituality come to the rescue and lent a helping hand to the sinking world. Then the world gets new hope and finds a new basis for a new building, and another wave of spirituality comes, which in time again declines. As a rule, spirituality brings a class of men who lay exclusive claim to the special powers of the world. The immediate effect of this is a reaction towards materialism, which opens the door to scores of exclusive claims, until the time comes when not only all the spiritual powers of the race, but all its material powers and privileges are centered in the hands of a very few; and these few, standing on the necks of the masses of the people, want to rule them. Then ~ Swami Vivekananda
Gospel Centered quotes by Swami Vivekananda
I do not belong to anyone! Certainly not to a self-centered, brute of man, err ... being or whatever it is you are, person! she fumbled. ~ Madison Thorne Grey
Gospel Centered quotes by Madison Thorne Grey
Laissez-faire, supply and demand-one begins to be weary of all that. Leave all to egotism, to ravenous greed of money, of pleasure, of applause-it is the gospel of despair. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Gospel Centered quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Marriage ... is the most glorious and most exalting principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ. No ordinance is of more importance and none more sacred and more necessary to the eternal joy of man. Faithfulness to the marriage covenant brings the fullest joy here and glorious rewards hereafter. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Gospel Centered quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
The moment you bow your knee to the lordship of Jesus Christ, all of your sin is transferred to Christ's account and paid in full. It was nailed to the cross two thousand years ago! But that's only half the gospel. Mercy is not getting what you deserve - the wrath of God. Grace is getting what you don't deserve - the righteousness of Christ. Everything you've done wrong is forgiven and forgotten. And everything Christ did right - His righteousness - is transferred to your account. And then God calls it even. It's like God says, "I'll take the blame for everything you did wrong and give you credit for everything I did right." It doesn't get any better than that, and ~ Mark Batterson
Gospel Centered quotes by Mark Batterson
Ministry. Sadly, there has never been a city on earth that is not saturated with human sin and corruption. Indeed, to paraphrase a Woody Allen joke, cities are just like everywhere else, only much more so. They are both better and worse, both easier and harder to live in, both more inspiring and oppressive, than other places. As redemptive history unfolds, we begin to see how the tension of the city will be resolved. The turn in the relationship between the people of God and the pagan city becomes a key aspect of God's plan to bless the nations and redeem the world. In the New Testament, we find cities playing an important role in the rapid growth of the early church and in spreading the gospel message of God's salvation. ~ Timothy Keller
Gospel Centered quotes by Timothy Keller
I would have every minister of the gospel address his audience with the zeal of a friend, with the generous energy of a father, and with the exuberant affection of a mother. ~ Francois Fenelon
Gospel Centered quotes by Francois Fenelon
Place before your eyes two Precepts, and two only. One is, Preach the Gospel; and the other is
Put down enthusiasm!The Church of England in a nutshell. ~ Mary Augusta Ward
Gospel Centered quotes by Mary Augusta Ward
We are not called to give lifestyle tips or the self-help plumbing that today's worldly men and women crave. The Bible says the gospel is the "power of God for salvation to everyone who believes." (Romans 1:16b), so we must proclaim it. ~ Richard D. Phillips
Gospel Centered quotes by Richard D. Phillips
if you provide everything your child needs whenever he throws a tantrum, at the expense of others, he will turn out to be self-centered and overbearing. ~ Tyson Caro
Gospel Centered quotes by Tyson Caro
I'm a big fan of gospel music, and you cannot be a fan of rock and roll, you cannot be a fan of country western music, and you can't really be a fan of jazz without listening to a lot of music that's religious. ~ Penn Jillette
Gospel Centered quotes by Penn Jillette
Girded with faith and the performance of good works, let us follow in his [Jesus] paths by the guidance of the Gospel. ~ Benedict Of Nursia
Gospel Centered quotes by Benedict Of Nursia
To be compassionate is not a joke. It's not that simple. One has to discover a certain bigness in oneself. That bigness should be centered on oneself, not in terms of money, not in terms of power you wield, not in terms of any status that you can command in the society, but it should be centered on oneself. ~ Dayananda Saraswati
Gospel Centered quotes by Dayananda Saraswati
There is no way that the Fourth Gospel was written by John Zebedee or by any of the disciples of Jesus. The author of this book is not a single individual, but is at least three different writers/editors, who did their layered work over a period of 25 to 30 years. ~ John Shelby Spong
Gospel Centered quotes by John Shelby Spong
To heed, we must first hear. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Gospel Centered quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Because cultures and languages are constantly changing and because the apostolic testimony must be attested in ever-new circumstances, it is a necessary feature of the apostolic tradition that it both guard the original testimony and make it understandable in new culture settings. Failing either is to default on the apostolic tradition. Far from implying unbending immobility, apostolicity requires constant adaptation of the primitive apostolic testimony to new historical challenges and languages, yet without altering or diluting the primitive witness. ~ Thomas C. Oden
