No one is so good that they don’t need the grace of the gospel, nor so bad that they can’t receive the grace of the gospel.

Because sin is not just breaking the rules, it is putting yourself in the place of God as Savior, Lord, and Judge just as each son sought to displace the authority of the father in his own life.

We are called not simply to communicate the gospel to nonbelievers; we must also intentionally celebrate the gospel before them.

The gospel humbles us into the dust and at the very same time exalts us to the heavens.

While marriage is many things, it is anything but sentimental. Marriage is glorious but hard. It's a burning joy and strength, and yet it is also blood, sweat, and tears; humbling defeats and exhausting victories.

God is so committed to your ultimate joy that he was willing to plunge into the greatest depths of suffering himself for you.

What you do in secret tells you who your God is.
