Philippians 2:12-18
"In a culture that loves speed and efficiency, it is not difficult to get a person interested in the message of the gospel; it is terrifically difficult to sustain the interest. To follow Christ faithfully, requires a long obedience in the same direction.” - Eugene Peterson
Do everything different (without grumbling or disputing)

Without the gospel we hate ourselves instead of our sin. Without the gospel we’re motivated through all sorts of awful fear and pride to change and it doesn’t really change our hearts; it just restrains our hearts.” ― Timothy Keller
