Convex and Concave

“The world’s approach to sex is demented, but it is a demented caricature of certain creational realities. Men and women are convex and concave in their desires. Men want to possess and women want to be possessed. Men want to want and women want to be wanted. We reject the world’s approach to sex by embracing God’s approach.”

Cold and Hot

“The law of God is like math. It doesn’t care about anybody’s hurt feelings. It is straight, and hard, and cold, and altogether righteous. But at the same time, when this cold, very cold law is resurrected in the body of Christ back from the darkness of the tomb, it comes to us as burning love. And this is why the message must be cold law and hot gospel.”
