While our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. God came after us not to strip away our freedom but to strip away our slavery to self, that we could become truly free.

The law demands that we do it all; the gospel declares that Jesus paid it all.

The gospel sets us free to become the romantic leaders of our marriages without fright or hesitation. Because we have been forever wooed by Jesus, we are now free to forever woo our wives.

The bad news that we are all guilty is met with the best news that God loves and forgives guilty people.

When you fail to distinguish Law and Gospel, you lose both.

When it comes to understanding and appreciating grace, our biggest problem is our so-called goodness...not our self-perceived badness.

God is not interested in what you think you should be or feel. He is not interested in the narrative you construct for yourself, or that others construct for you. Rather, He is interested in you, the you who suffers, the you who inflicts suffering on others, the you who hides, the you who has bad days (and good ones). And He meets you where you are.
