I wonder if we have a lot of sons running around saying, "I want a Dad." But you won't abide in anyone.

God's love is so extravagant and so inexplicable that he loved us before we were us. He loved us before we existed. He knew many of us would reject him, hate him, curse him, rebel against him. Yet he chose to love us. God loves us because he is love.

Grace is a person. And his name is Jesus.

It’s interesting how people try to redefine God to their liking. They bring him down to their level so they can understand him, then they reject him because he is too much like them.

Don't you know you are the only Jesus many people will ever see? In compromising your lifestyle, you forfeit your capacity to accurately reflect God's image and endanger an entire generation's understanding of Jesus.

We need to abandon our scale and adopt God's because our misguided labels keep us from the right kind of interaction with people.

Are you struggling with sin? You don’t need more will power. You need more of Jesus.
