We rarely do anything with on single motive.

Becaise I love God, I want to handle his truth with accuracy, clarity, and specificity. I want to build bridges of understanding from the wisdom of the Word to the details of people's lives. And because I love people, I will not be satisfied with lobbing grenades of general truth at them. Rather, through good questions, committed listening, and careful interpretation, I will enter their world with the understanding necessary to bring Christ's help to where it is really needed.

We are called by God to do theology, that is, to live our lives with a moment-by-moment consciousness of God.

Grace will expose the deepest issues of your heart, then point you to the Cross which covers everything that's been exposed.

The Bible says that our core problem, the fundamental reason we do what we do, is sin.

When Christ is my hope, he becomes the one thing in which I have confidence. I act on his wisdom and bank on his grace. I trust his promises and I rely on his presence. And I pursue all the good things that he has promised me simply because I trust him. So, I am not manipulating, controlling, or threatening my way through life to get what I want, because I have found what I want in Christ. He is my hope.

People struggling with life in a fallen world often want explanations when what they really need is imagination.
