If you look at the gospel, it just doesn't break things apart. The gospel brings things together. One of the great demonstration of the gospel's power is reconciliation.

My observation of Christendom is that most of us tend to base our relationship with God on our performance instead of on His grace.

In the Old Testament, we are continually told that our good works are not enough, that God has made a provision. This provision is pointed to at every place in the Old Testament.

It's better to feel sorry for doing something bad than to feel superior for doing something good.

Since Genesis 3 we have been addicted to setting our sights on something, someone, smaller than Jesus.

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

God wants every local church to be the first place people think to go when they've really messed up...not the last.
