“I propose that as a nation we formally confess together that Jesus actually did rise from the dead. If you protest that this would kill the great secular experiment that is America, I would reply that the great secular experiment that is America appears to have already gone out behind the barn and shot itself already.”

Thin and Thick
“Mere Christendom needs to be thin when it comes to the differences between Lutherans and Methodists, Presbyterians and Baptists, and so on. But it needs to manage to do this without thinning out the contents of the Apostles’ Creed. It needs to be thick there.”
Agony in the Middle
“When Christ went to the cross, there was love in the assignment of the mission, there was love in the execution of the mission, and there was love in the application of the mission; Father, Son, and Spirit. It began with love, and it will end with love. But never forget, there was agony in the middle. And that agony in the middle was not something other than love; it was love all the way through. And God determined to do it this way before all worlds . . . In the midst of everything, love is often no fun at all. The Lord Jesus did not go to the cross on an emotional high. And that is the love beyond which we cannot imagine anything greater. That is what we are to imitate.”

Chimpanzees on Meth
“That refusal to accommodate your feelings is what brings your feelings around. This is how your feelings become disciplined and learn to be obedient. Too many parents treat their emotions the same way that treat out-of-control kids. You know the kind: yard apes, curtain climbers. The only time parents can enjoy them is when they are exhausted and sound asleep.”
Keep Your Kids, p. 61
Thick Religion
“Salvation for nations is religious, and it needs to be religiously thick. We cannot be saved by a thin religion. We cannot be saved by a religion the theological definitions of which will not stand up under five minutes of questioning. Etiolated faithy-words have no saving power. Why would they?”
