God takes our misery and suffering so seriously that he was willing to take it on himself.

Jesus is not asking us to do anything for him that he hasn’t already done for us, under conditions of difficulty beyond our comprehension.

Marriage is two broken people having little broken people.

The cross is the place where the Judge takes the Judgment.

There are many ways to cover up our sin. We may justify or minimize it by blaming circumstances and others people. However, real repentance first admits sin as sin and takes full responsibility. True confession and repentance begins when blame shifting ends...Just as real repentance begins only where blame shifting ends, so it also begins where self-pity ends, and we start to turn from our sin out of love for God rather than mere self-interest.

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

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