God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.

Without the gospel we hate ourselves instead of our sin. Without the gospel we’re motivated through all sorts of awful fear and pride to change and it doesn’t really change our hearts; it just restrains our hearts.

Only with time do we really learn who the other person is and come to love the person for him- or herself and not just for the feelings and experiences they give us.

Many times people think if God has called you to something, he's promising you success. He might be calling you to fail to prepare you for something else through the failure.

The issue on which everything hangs is not whether you like His teaching but if He ‪rose from the dead.

It is possible to avoid Jesus as Savior as much by keeping all the Biblical rules as by breaking them.

So live in the light of the resurrection and renewal of this world, and of yourself, in a glorious, never-ending, joyful dance of grace.
