Things like radical generosity and audacious faith are not produced when we focus on them, but when we focus on the gospel.

God sometimes answers our prayers by giving us what we would have asked for had we known what He knows.

Focusing on what we ought to do for God creates only frustration and exhaustion; focusing on what Jesus has done for us produces abundant fruit. Resting in what Jesus has done for us releases the revolutionary power of the gospel.

As we see the beauty of God and feel His weightiness in our hearts, our hearts begin to desire Him more than we desire sin. Before the Bible says,"Stop sinning", it says,"Behold your God".

Salvation is not a prayer you pray in a one-time ceremony and then move on from; salvation is a posture of repentance and faith that you begin in a moment and maintain for the rest of your life.

Often the strongest evidence of my growth in grace is my growth in the knowledge of my need for grace.

We are changed not by being told what we need to do for God, but by hearing the news about what God has done for us.
