We may not be worthy to be forgiven, but He is worthy to forgive us.

When something becomes so important to you that it drives your behavior and commands your emotions, you are worshipping it.

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

Without love even the most radical devotion to God is of no value to Him. Let me make sure that sinks in… You can gain all the spiritual gifts in the world. You can take the most radical steps of obedience. You can share every meal with the homeless in your city. You can memorize the book of Leviticus. You can pray each morning for four hours like Martin Luther. But if what you do does not flow out of a heart of love - a heart that does those things because it genuinely desires to do them - it is ultimately worthless to God.

In a post-Christian, skeptical age, love on display is the most convincing apologetic.

God calls us first... not to a platform, but to an altar!

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