The fatal flaw of human wisdom is that it promises that you can change your relationships without needing to change yourself.

God never intended for us to simply be the objects of His love. We are also called to be the instruments of that love in the lives of others.

See yourself and weep. See your God and rejoice.

True restoration takes patience, subtlety, skill, and grace.

Harboring bitterness against people is actually confessing their sin to myself, over and over again. Anger is akin to confessing their sin to God, dissatisfied that he hasn't done something and placing myself in his position as judge.

God's grace doesn't always come in comfortable forms. But it's still grace, and it's still evidence that He loves us.

In the family, life is brought not only to our doorstep, but into our kitchens, bedrooms, and dens. In the family, life is happening all around us, and it begs to be questioned, evaluated, interpreted, and discussed. There is no more consistent, pregnant, dynamic forum for instruction about life than the family, because that is exactly what God designed the family to be, a learning community.
