When Job was prospering, he prayed. When he was suffering, he still prayed.

Pride is the carbon-monoxide of Sin. It silently and slowly kills you without you even knowing.

You are more sinful than you could dare imagine and you are more loved and accepted than you could ever dare hope.

When you forgive, that means you absorb the loss and the debt. You bear it yourself. All forgiveness, then, is costly.

No one is too bad for Jesus. A lot of people think they are too good for Jesus.

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

To stand in the presence of God, that is what the Gospel is. The Gospel is not primarily about forgiveness. It’s not primarily about good feelings. It’s not primarily about power. All those things are byproducts, sparks. It’s primarily about the presence of God.
