There is no evil that the father’s love cannot pardon and cover, there is no sin that is a match for his grace.

Faith is not primarily a function of how you feel. Faith is living out and believing what truth is despite what you feel.

It is because of the doctrine of judgment and hell that Jesus' proclamations of grace and love are so astounding.

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

Without the gospel we hate ourselves instead of our sin. Without the gospel we’re motivated through all sorts of awful fear and pride to change and it doesn’t really change our hearts; it just restrains our hearts.

...the essence of gospel-humility is not thinking more of myself or thinking less of myself, it is thinking of myself less.

The Gospel is this: You're more sinful, evil and weak than you'd ever believe. But you're more valued, accepted and loved than you dared hope.
