God relentlessly offers his grace to people who do not deserve it, or seek it, or even appreciate it after they have been saved by it.

The purpose of Jesus's coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it.

We have to be careful not to elevate our preferences to moral standards and judge others by them. We only do so to feel superior.

Holding a grudge against someone means you think you know what they deserve and you take it upon yourself to give it to them.

Suffering can refine us rather than destroy us because God himself walks with us in the fire.

I am going to judge my circumstances by Jesus’ love, not Jesus’ love by my circumstances.

The story of Jesus changes our lives because it is true.
