This is the humbling truth that lies at the heart of Christianity. We love to be our own saviors. Our hearts love to manufacture glory for themselves. So we find messages of self-salvation extremely attractive, whether they are religious (Keep these rules and you earn eternal blessing) or secular (Grab hold of these things and you’ll experience blessing now).

All Christians have opportunities to serve those who might never come to church or listen to a sermon.

We deserve to be forgotten because we forget Him. But because Jesus died on the cross, we will never, ever be forgotten by God.

Doing justice includes not only the righting of wrongs but generosity and social concern, especially toward the poor and vulnerable.

If the church does not identify with the marginalized, it will itself be marginalized. This is God's poetic justice.

Pride is the carbon-monoxide of Sin. It silently and slowly kills you without you even knowing.

We should let Scripture interpret us more than we interpret Scripture.
