Grace is a system of living whereby God blesses us because we are in Jesus Christ, and for no other reason at all.

The old-time-religion and today's cutting-edge-religion have one thing in common - they're both religion. I want neither.

Preaching grace produces fruit. Preaching law produces nuts.

...if I need to apologize for misrepresenting God's love I'd rather apologize for overstating His love than for understating it.

We don't have two lives-a "spiritual" life here and a "regular" life there. Our life in Christ is one unified lifestyle, and it is who we are wherever we are.

The underlying foundation of all religion is performance - whether it's a tribal dance around a campfire to satisfy the fire god, or a dead religious activity performed week after week by an evangelical Christian with the intent of impressing his God. It's all religious performance, and God isn't impressed by our performance. What impresses Him is faith.
