Our sin is what separates us from God, but it's our self righteousness that keeps us from running to Him for the grace He willingly gives to all who come.

Sin makes us moral quadriplegics.

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

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

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

If your hope disappoints you, it is the wrong kind of hope. You see, hope in God never disappoints, precisely because it is hope *in God.* This means that hope placed in any other thing will always end up disappointing.

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.
