Sin is powerful, but not as powerful as the liberating power of grace.

God's design in our pain enables us to look back and say: He loves me enough to take me where I would have never wanted to go in order to produce in me what I never could have achieved on my own.

Love is willing self-sacrifice for the good of another that does not require reciprocation or that the person being loved is deserving

When your sin is exposed, you will run toward confession and forgiveness or self-righteousness and self-justification.

We must not offer people a system of redemption, a set of insights and principles. We offer people a Redeemer.

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

If you are in Christ, you've been chosen to transcend the borders of your own glory, to reach out toward a greater glory, the glory of God.
