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

Many times people think if God has called you to something, he's promising you success. He might be calling you to fail to prepare you for something else through the failure.

The Gospel is that Jesus Christ came to earth, lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died.

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

Our moral efforts are too feeble and falsely motivated to ever merit salvation.

The Christian Gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less.

The life of faith is not the perfect life; it is the life which clings on to what God has said he will do.
