It's against God's nature to remember forgiven sins

I think there is, not in the sense that I enjoy it, but that it's an important question. It's the question, "Does the presence of pain mean God doesn't care? Does God not love me anymore?" I think that's a very common connection we tend to make.

Worship is the thank you that can't be silenced

You can do something no one else can do in a fashion no one else can do it.

God is kind, but he is not soft. He takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life change.

The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional. Anxiety is not a sin; it's an emotion. So don't be anxious about feeling anxious. Anxiety can, however, lead to sinful behavior. When we numb our fears with six-packs or food binges, when we spew anger like Krakatau, when we peddle our fears to anyone who will buy them, we're sinning.

The worship of safety emasculates greatness.
