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

While we want doubts to give way to faith, we should be merciful and patient with those who are still in a doubt-troubled place.

There seems to be a human instinct for prayer. Swiss theologian Karl Barth calls it our 'incurable God-sickness.'

Those who understand the gospel cannot possibly look down on anyone, since they were saved by sheer grace, not by their perfect doctrine or strong moral character.

If we pick out which parts of the Bible we dislike, we actually have a god we've created. How can that god ever call you out on anything?

When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride.

Jesus' purpose is not to warm our hearts but to shatter our categories.
