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

At the root of all our disobedience are particular ways in which we continue to seek control of our lives through systems of works-righteousness. The way to progress as a Christian is to continually repent and uproot these systems the same way we become Christians, namely by the vivid depiction (and re-depiction) of Christ’s saving work for us, and the abandoning of self-trusting efforts to complete ourselves. We must go back again and again to the gospel of Christ-crucified, so that our hearts are more deeply gripped by the reality of what he did and who we are in him.

You can't live the Christian life without a band of Christian friends, without a family of believers in which you find a place.

The gospel is not about choosing to follow advice; it's about being called to follow a King.

If you come from insignificance and when you die you return to insignificance, then nothing is significant now.
