Paul reminds us that in the Gospel we are both brought lower and raised higher than we can imagine.

Where you find your significance is where you find your salvation.

...the essence of gospel-humility is not thinking more of myself or thinking less of myself, it is thinking of myself less.

Repentance is like antiseptic. You pour antiseptic onto a wound and, at first, it stings. Then it heals.

Truth without love is imperious self-righteousn ess. Love without truth is cowardly self-indulgence .
