There is a direct relationship between a person's grasp and experience of God's grace, and his or her heart for justice and the poor.

Grace is humbling and restorative. It pulls you down because Christ had to die for you, but also lifts you up because he wanted to die for you.

Through the person and work of Jesus Christ, God fully accomplishes salvation for us, rescuing us from judgment for sin into fellowship with him, and then restores the creation in which we can enjoy our new life together with him forever.

The cross is the place where we find the freedom to accept ourselves without being proud and to challenge ourselves without being crushed.

Worry is not believing God will get it right, and bitterness is believing God got it wrong.

Every treasure on this earth says, 'Give your life to purchase me.' Jesus says 'I'm the one treasure who died to purchase you.'

When people say, "God is love," I think they mean that love is extremely important, or that God really wants us to love. But in Christian conception, God really has love as his essence.
