“Hell is not a place God creates to torture people, but a power that God contains to protect the overflowing life of his new creation.” - Josh Butler

“Those who follow Jesus the Messiah are not simply supposed to survive. They are supposed to count, to make a difference in the world, whether through the witness of a faithful and gentle life or the chance, given to some, to speak and act in a way which reveals the gospel to many others. For all of that, we need to become strong, to face up to the challenge.”

“Schools and hospitals bear witness to the “now already” of the gospel while, police and prisons bear witness to the “not yet.”

“God’s kingdom” in the preaching of Jesus refers not to postmortem destiny, not our escape from this world into another one, but to God’s sovereign rule coming “on earth as it is in heaven.” - NT Wright

Our task as image-bearing, God-loving, Christ-shaped, Spirit-filled Christians following Christ and shaping our world is to announce redemption to a world that has discovered its fallenness, to announce healing to a world that has discovered its brokenness, to proclaim love and trust to a world that knows only exploitation, fear, and suspicion. - NT Wright
