People who know they are not good make the best messengers of grace because they are desperately aware of their own need for it.

Holy Saturday. The best reminder that the silence of God doesn't equal the absence of God.

God's capacity to forgive is greater than our capacity to sin; while our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. It's a message revealing the radical contrast between the sinful heart of mankind and the gracious heart of mankind's Creator.

Our default faith mode is to trust, above all things, our own ability to create a safe, controllable, predictable world.

My daily sins require daily distribution of God's grace. In that sense, it never ceases to surprise me because I don't deserve any of it. I mean, I deserve to be locked in a cage and for God to throw away the key.

Grace is unconditional acceptance given to an undeserving person by an unobligated giver.

Self-righteousness is the fruit of a low view of God's law and a lite view of your own sin.
