Believers should acknowledge and wrestle with doubts... It is no longer sufficient to hold beliefs just because you inherited them.

God's grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver. From the earliest parts of the Bible, it was understood that God could not forgive without sacrifice. No one who is seriously wronged can “just forgive” the perpetrator.

Not everyone is your brother or sister in the faith, but everyone is your neighbor, and you must love your neighbor.

If you wait until your motives are pure and unselfish before you do something, you will wait forever.

The Gospel is the deepest consolation you can offer to the human heart.

Through the person and work of Jesus Christ, God fully accomplishes salvation for us, rescuing us from judgment for sin into fellowship with him, and then restores the creation in which we can enjoy our new life together with him forever.

If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.
