To accept grace is to admit failure, a step we are hesitant to take. We opt to impress God with how good we are rather than confessing how great he is.

A Christian in his surroundings should encourage everyone to be better, instead of being the one who stoops to be like everyone else.

Your pain has a purpose. Your problems, struggles, heartaches, and hassles cooperate toward one end-the glory of God.

We've been taught that the Christian life is a life of peace, and when we don't have peace, we assume the problem lies within us. Not only do we feel anxious, but we also feel guilty about our anxiety! The result is a downward spiral of worry, guilt, worry, guilt.

Can you imagine a life with no fear? What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats?

The wonders of nature call to you. The promises and prophecies of Scripture speak to you. God himself reaches out to you.

Christ became one of us to redeem all of us.
