“A prosperity gospel applied to a nation is no more biblical than a prosperity gospel applied to a person.”
― Russell D. Moore, Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel

“A church that loses its distinctiveness is a church that has nothing distinctive with which to engage the culture. A worldly church is of no good to the world.”
― Russell D. Moore, Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel

“The church is a signpost of God’s coming kingdom (Eph. 3:10), a preview to the watching world of what the reign of God in Christ is to look like, a colony of the kingdom coming.”
― Russell D. Moore, Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel

“A job is a vocation only if someone else calls you to do it for them rather than for yourself. And so our work can be a calling only if it is reimagined as a mission of service to something beyond merely our own interests. Thinking of work mainly as a means of self-fulfillment and self-realization slowly crushes a person.”
― Timothy Keller, Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God's Plan for the World
