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

Grace is the most dangerous, expectation-wre cking, smile-creating, counterintuitiv e reality there is.

My lifestyle got so disruptive to my family that my parents had no choice but to say, "You can't live here any longer if you're going to live this way." So, I was thrilled about it - thrilled!

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

The gospel is for the defeated, not the dominant.

God is the one to be praised, not our transformation.

The good news of suffering is that it brings us to the end of ourselves - a purpose it has certainly served in my life. It brings us to the place of honesty, which is the place of desperation, which is the place of faith, which is the place of freedom.
