To stand in the presence of God, that is what the Gospel is. The Gospel is not primarily about forgiveness. It’s not primarily about good feelings. It’s not primarily about power. All those things are byproducts, sparks. It’s primarily about the presence of God.

What the heart most wants, the mind finds reasonable, the will finds doable, and the emotions find desirable.

Faith in God's promises means not always following the expected, rational path.

As long as we think we are not that bad, the idea of grace will never change us.

Job never saw why he suffered, but he saw God, and that was enough.

The world is polarizing over religion. It is getting both more religious and less religious at the same time.

The Gospel is good news not good advice. Advice = what we should do. News = report of what was done for us.
