The overwhelming emphasis of contemporary Christianity: "Just do it." The overwhelming emphasis of Biblical Christianity: "It is finished"

I was always in places where I was widely accepted, approved and loved and I was finally in a place where people did not approve of me, did not accept me and did not love me. It was killing me.

Our assurance is anchored in the love and grace of God expressed in the glorious exchange: our sin for His righteousness.

The truth is that when it comes to suffering, if we do not go to our graves in confusion, we will not go to our graves trusting. Explanations are a substitute for trust.

The gospel doesn't just free me from what people think of me, but also from what I think of me.

The gospel is for the defeated, not the dominant.

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