The gospel frees you from the pressure of having to fix people: your worth is located in Christ, not in their transformation.

What kind of person should you be to someone who has fallen? The kind of person you will run to when you fall.

From the time God saved me at 21 years old, I've always been fascinated by the parables of Jesus.

God is the one to be praised, not our transformation.

I was a surfer so I hung out with people who were surfers and made fun of people who weren't surfers and I listened to surf music and made fun of people who didn't listen to surfer music.

God's grace is so counterintuitive and everything we do in our life is just based on conditions. You do this for me and I'll do that for you. Or if you don't do this for me, I won't do that for you. And God's grace works in a completely different direction.

Here's one way I can know that I've forgotten the gospel of grace: when your sin bothers me more than my sin.
