The truth, whether we admit it or not, is that grace scares us to death. It scares us primarily because it wrestles control and manageability out of our hands - introducing chaos and freedom.

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.

Grace flows most refreshingly through the faucet of brokenness.

The passive righteousness of faith frees me from passing final judgment on myself.

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

Contrary to popular assumptions, the Bible is not a record of the blessed good, but rather the blessed bad. Thats not a typo. The Bible is a record of the blessed bad. The Bible is not a witness to the best people making it up to God; its a witness to God making it down to the worst people.

Grace frees you to be honest about what you've always known to be true about yourself: that you're weaker & more afraid than you want to be.
