The depth, width, ferocity, and immensity of God is seen most spectacularly in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The work of God in the cross of Christ strikes us as awe-inspiring only after we have first been awed by the glory of God.

God is not in love with some future version of you. It’s not you tomorrow that He loves and delights in. It’s not you when you get your act together....If you believe that Christ’s love for you is a future love for you, then you dismiss the cross of Christ.

I've discovered most Christians don't know what to do with difficult situations because they have bought into the lie that God owes us (for our good behaviour). The reality of life is that if you live long enough you are going to bleed, cry and hurt. AND God is still God IN that.

Church of Jesus, let us please be men and women who understand the difference between moralism and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let’s be careful to preach the dos and don’ts of Scripture in the shadow of the cross’s ‘Done!’

The more you make this world about you, the more miserable you will be.

In essence, we are reconciled to reconcile.
