For every one look at your sins, take five looks at your Savior.

When I forget the gospel I become dependent on the smiles and evaluation of others.

We can only grasp the gospel's sweetness if we first grapple with its offense- you can't save yourself.

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 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.

We must go back again and again to the Gospel of Christ crucified, so that our hearts are more deeply gripped by the reality of what He did and who we are in Him.

Jesus is the author of faith, the provider of faith, and the object of faith.
