The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.

Truth is more important, freedom is more complex, and Jesus is more liberating than you think.

Forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness. To not retaliate is to absorb the cost.

To be a Christian is a standing, a legal position. It means to be a child of God. You are or you are not, there is no try.

God takes our misery and suffering so seriously that he was willing to take it on himself.

Suffering is actually at the heart of the Christian story.

The great basis of Christian assurance is not how much our hearts are set on God, but how unshakably his heart is set on us.
