The gospel doesn't make bad people good, it makes dead people alive.

Walking with God doesn't lead to God's favor; God's favor leads to walking with God.

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.

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

From the time God saved me at 21 years old, I've always been fascinated by the parables of Jesus.

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!

Grace doesn't lead us into destructive behavior. Sin does. And grace is the only remedy for sin. The kindness of God leads to repentance.
