If the depths of everyone's sin was made public, we would all be much more gracious to each other.

Jesus is not the man at the top of the stairs; He is the man at the bottom, the friend of sinners, the savior of those in need of one. Which is all of us, all of the time.

I wish I could say that everything I do is for God’s glory but I can’t. And neither can you. What I can say is Jesus’ blood covers all my efforts to glorify myself.

The law is God's first word; the gospel is God's final word.

The focus of the Christian faith is not our morality; it is Jesus, who died for our immorality.

Explanations are a substitute for trust.

Whether it's a Christian or a non-Christian, there's nothing like suffering to show us how small, needy, and not in control we are. Suffering has a way of sobering us up to the realization that we can't make it on our own, that we need help, that we're broken.
