Every single emotion you have should be processed in prayer.

Only in Jesus Christ do we see how the untamable, infinite God can become a baby and a loving Savior. On the cross we see how both the love and the holiness of God can be fulfilled at once.

The determining factor in our relationship with God is not our past but Christ's past.

If we give God things in hope that they'll earn us blessings, we're really not doing anything for him. It's for ourselves.

Elder brothers obey God to get things. They don't obey God to get God himself — in order to resemble him, love him, know him, and delight him.

The gospel has two parts. It has the part that says you're a sinner, and it has the part that says you're loved and accepted.

Suffering dispels the illusion that we have the strength and competence to rule our own lives and save ourselves.
