If you are in Christ, you are fully and completely forgiven for all your sin-past, present and future.

The single most loving act we can do is share the good news of Jesus Christ, that God saves sinners.

God is at work in the mess. That's the message of the Bible. That's why the Bible is not pretty. That's why it's grimy, because God is working in the mess. He's working in the tears.

If we could understand how impossible our situation is, we would grow in reverence for the kingship of Christ.

When we join God in his plan for his global glory, we get to be a part of the cosmic take-your-kid-t o-work day.

Your approval before God is woven into the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, not what other men and women think about you.

There's a strong victim mentality in my generation. I think it's spiritual laziness. They will agree that God is sovereign over all, but then they will say, "Well, I wish he would sovereignly take away my lust issue." There's just not a lot of fortitude, not a lot of fight in them.
