Once you savor God's goodness, sin holds no lasting appeal.

Jesus is not your accuser. He’s not your prosecutor. He’s not your judge. He’s your friend and your rescuer. Like Zacchaeus, just spend time with Jesus. Don’t hide from him in shame or reject him in self-righteousness. Don’t allow the opinions of other people to shape your concept of him. Get to know him for yourself, and let the goodness of God change you from the inside out.

Sometimes God takes your life for some crazy twists and turns.

Make rules and follow rules as needed, but don't focus on riles. Focus on faith. Focus on grace. Focus on Jesus.

God transforms us one area at a time.

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

But difficult situations and wrong choices conspire to trap us in hopelessness.
