If Christianity is really true it will be offending and correcting you somewhere.

The lack of joy in your life is due to your lack of mission.

Christmas means Jesus came down and got involved in suffering. He hears your cries.

Jesus Christ, who had all the power in the world, saw us enslaved by the very things we thought would free us ... He laid aside the infinities and immensities of His being and, at the cost of His life, paid the debt for our sins, purchasing us the only place our hearts can rest, in His Father's house. Knowing He did this will transform us from the inside out.

There is a joy available that the deepest grief cannot put out. No circumstance or person can take away the joy God gives.

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. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less.

When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride.
