Only when you realize that the gospel has nothing to do with your obedience but with Christ's obedience for you, will you start to obey. The only Christians who end up getting better are those who realize that if they don't get better, God will love them anyway.

The desperate addict is closer to the heart of grace than the devout moralist.

Grace loves without reference to what may or may not happen-which is precisely why such incredible things do happen!

The Christian life has been nothing more and nothing less than a daily dependence on and a rediscovery of God's grace.

When it comes to engaging and influencing culture, too many Christians think too highly of political activism.

When the Christian faith becomes defined by who we are and what we do and not by who Christ is and what he did for us, we miss the gospel - and we, ironically, become more disobedient.

God has hardwired me to thoroughly enjoy and be sharpened by good and friendly theological discussion about the gospel.
