Only if you first seek inner forgiveness will your confrontation be temperate, wise, and gracious. Only when you have lost the need to see the other person hurt will you have any chance of actually bringing about change, reconciliation, and healing. You have to submit to the costly suffering and death of forgiveness if there is going to be any resurrection.

...the essence of gospel-humility is not thinking more of myself or thinking less of myself, it is thinking of myself less.

I am so bad that He had to die. I am so loved that He was glad to die.

Only in Jesus Christ do we see how the untamable, infinite God can become a baby and a loving Savior. On the cross we see how both the love and the holiness of God can be fulfilled at once.

There is no evil that the father’s love cannot pardon and cover, there is no sin that is a match for his grace.

When love of one's people becomes an absolute, it turns into racism. When love of equality turns into a supreme thing, it can result in hatred and violence toward anyone who has led a privileged life. It is the settled tendency of human societies to turn good political causes into counterfeit gods.

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