Jesus isn't a God who stayed on the mountaintop - he's a Savior who came down and lived and worked with the people.

I believe ingratitude is the original sin. I believe if Adam and Eve had been grateful for the garden of Eden they had, they would not have been so focused on the one tree they didn't have.

Most people have settled for a wimpy grace. It's something that doesn't change their lives. There is a difference between grace and mercy. Mercy is the decision of God not to punish us. But grace is the decision of God to save and bless us.

There's no person God cannot reach.

Ggrace is God's best idea - it's His decision to ravage people by love, to rescue passionately, and to restore justly.

God answers the mess of life with one word: Grace.
