Trust is accepting what God sends into your life whether you understand it or not.

There is no way to have a real relationship without becoming vulnerable to hurt. Christmas tells us that God became breakable and fragile. God became someone we could hurt. Why? To get us back... No other religion-whethe r secularism, Greco-Roman paganism, Eastern religion, Judaism, or Islam-believes God became breakable or suffered or had a body.

Jesus does not divide the world into the moral "good guys" and the immoral "bad guys". He shows us that everyone is dedicated to a project of self-salvation, to using God and others in order to get power and control for themselves. We are just going about it in different ways. Even though both sons are wrong, however, the father cares for them and invites them both back into his love and feast.

Humility is so shy. If you begin talking about it, it leaves.

Jesus took the tree of death so you could have the tree of life.

Most apologetic books are really written for Christians, even the ones that purport to be written for non-believers.

If you have a small view of your sin, God's grace will be small to you.
