If you want God's grace, all you need is need, all you need is nothing.

Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances; it promises you a better life.

It takes pride to be anxious – I am not wise enough to know how my life should go.

Our character is mainly shaped by our primary social community - the people with whom we eat, play, converse, and study.

How do you change your behavior? Change what you worship

Jesus's miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming.

When we grasp that we are unworthy sinners saved by an infinitely costly grace, it destroys both our self-righteousn ess and our need to ridicule others.
