Gifts are abilities God gives us to meet the needs of others in Christ’s name.

Religion operates on the principle 'I obey-therefore I am accepted by God.' But the operating principle of the gospel is 'I am accepted by God through what Christ has done-therefore I obey.'

It is impossible to forgive someone if you feel superior to him or her.

Grace is to be let into a place that you don't have a right to be.

What you do today is shaped by what you believe about tomorrow.
