Holy Saturday. The best reminder that the silence of God doesn't equal the absence of God.

A preacher who doesn't believe he's that bad will attract people who don't think they're that bad. And that's bad.

Real, pure, unadulterated freedom happens when the resources of the gospel smash any sense of need to secure for myself anything beyond what Christ has already secured for me.

Sometimes God has to remind you that you're weak so that you can be set free from your "self-sufficiency."

There's nothing like suffering to reveal how small and needy you are. Pain has the remarkable capacity to reveal the weakness of the things you're leaning on to make life worth living.

Because Jesus was someone, you’re free to be no one.

Graciousness is the fruit of someone who knows how badly they themselves need grace.
