“We commit to other believers in the local church simply because it's part of God's calling us into his family. It's what it means to be a Christian. Take the passage from 1 John 4:19-21. It starts with our salvation: "He first loved us." Then it continues into our love for other Christians. "Whoever loves God must also love his brother." Every person loved by God in this salvific sense loves other Christians. There are no exceptions. And that means we should stop viewing commitment to a local church as a process and start viewing it as an event. The event is our salvation, and commitment is something that inevitably follows- not something that merely happens as we mature.”

“Em qualquer relacionamento de autoridade, o antídoto para o temor é o entendimento. Tememos a autoridade que é usada sem consideração às nossas necessidades. Mas, quando alguém que está em autoridade mostra que entende e considera a nossa situação, a confiança se torna atraente.”
