“If there's anything in life that we should be passionate about, it's the gospel. And I don't mean passionate only about sharing it with others. I mean passionate about thinking about it, dwelling on it, rejoicing in it, allowing it to color the way we look at the world. Only one thing can be of first importance to each of us. And only the gospel ought to be.” IfsThinkingWorldWayShouldFirstsLooksMeanOne ThingColorOughtImportancePassionateAllowingRejoiceDwellingAnything In Life Author:C. J. Mahaney

“As we mature personally, as our families mature, and as our churches mature, we need the doctrine of sin more, not less; and we need to keep growing in rightly understanding and applying this doctrine. Be assured that this is no less true if you're a pastor or teacher or ministry worker. There's no pastoral privilege in relation to sin. There's no ministry exemption from the opposition of the flesh. There's only a heightened responsibility to oppose sin and to weaken the flesh, as an example to the flock.” IfsNeedsUnderstandingChurchSinResponsibilityTeacherGrowingExampleRelationWorkersPrivilegeFleshDoctrineOur FamilyOppositionMatureMinistryPastorAssuredFlocksExemption Author:C.
