If you dont love, youve lost your distinction, definition, uniqueness, and identity.

If we could get people to think about Jesus, we reasoned, Jesus was more than able to reveal himself to them.

We need a bigger estimation of God and a smaller estimation of sin.

Sometimes our brains are our own worst enemy because grace isn't logical.

I think people would be surprised to discover that their challenges and struggles are not too dissimilar to us, average ordinary people. We're all looking for essentially the same thing and I think that's faith and hope and love and meaning and of course satisfaction, peace, joy.

You didnt access love, love accessed you!

That’s how we often react when grace comes at us. It’s awkward. God offers us something that’s too good to be true—unearned, unmerited, total forgiveness—and we stand there, stiff and uncomfortable, waiting for the embrace to stop so we can get back to the business of earning our way into heaven. We need to embrace grace. We need to learn how to hug back.
