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

A biblical understanding of the Christian life is not 'let go and let God,' it's 'trust God and get going.'

What I'm most deeply grateful for is that God's love for us, approval of us, and commitment to us does not ride on our resolve but on Jesus' resolve for us. The gospel is the good news announcing Jesus' infallible devotion to us despite our inconsistent devotion to Him. The gospel is not a command to hang on to Jesus; it's a promise that no matter how weak and unsuccessful our faith and efforts may be, God is always holding on to us.

Even political insiders recognize that years of political effort on behalf of Evangelical Christians have generated little cultural gain.

The Christian life has been nothing more and nothing less than a daily dependence on and a rediscovery of God's grace.

The good news of the gospel [for sufferers] is not an exhortation from above to 'hang on at all costs,' or 'grin and bear it' in the midst of hardship. No, the good news is that God is hanging on to you, and in the end, when all is said and done, the power of God will triumph over every pain and loss.

The biggest lie about grace that Satan wants the church to buy is the idea that it’s dangerous and therefore needs to be kept in check.
