Foolishness is more than being stupid, that deadly combination of arrogance and ignorance.

We, with all of our sin, weakness, and failures are welcome to do what should blow our minds. We are not only tolerated by God at a distance; no, we are welcomed into intimate personal communion with the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the creator, the sovereign, the Savior. We, as unholy as we are, are told to go with confidence into his holy presence.

You cannot divide human beings into those who worship and those who don't. Everybody worships; it's just a matter of what, or whom, we serve.

Every time you ask for forgiveness, you recognize that the biggest problems you face in life exist inside of you, not outside of you.

The cross guarantees that even in your darkest moment God will never turn in disgust and walk away. There is no rebellion, no weakness, no foolishness, no evil of heart that the cross can't defeat and grace can't transform.

Standing near someone you love in a time of trouble is its own reward.

Today you will envy the blessings of another, or you will bask in the wonder of the amazing grace you have been given.
