Money isn't an idol. It just shows you where your idols are.

Nothing we formulate or do can qualify us for access to God. Only grace can do that- based not on our performance but on the saving work of Christ.

To fear the Lord is to be overwhelmed with wonder before the greatness of God and his love.

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).

The irreligious don't repent at all and the religious only repent of sins. But Christians repent of their wrongfully placed righteousness.

God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.

Faith is not opposed to reason, but it is sometimes opposed to feelings and appearances.
