"The greatest motivation we could ever find for being passionately committed to the Church is that Jesus is passionately committed to the Church."- Joshua Harris
"The church community is where we learn to love God and others; where we are strengthened and transformed by truth from the Word; where we're taught to pray, to worship, and to serve; where we can be most certain that we're investing our time and abilities for eternity; where we can grow in our roles as friends, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers. The church is earth's single best place--God's specially designed place--to start over, to grow and to change for the glory of God. That's why I tell people that when they stop dating the church, they're not just adding another item to a long spiritual to-do list. Instead, they're finally getting started on experiencing all the other blessings that Jesus promised to His followers as the fruits of the truly abundant life."- Joshua Harris
"Today's media, especially television, seeks to define reality for us. It wants to tell us how to think about sex, about marriage, about our desires, about sin. The danger of not bringing God's standards to bear in what you watch isn't only that you might see a naked body, but that the values of a sinful world will shape what you're living for."- Joshua Harris
