The lifeblood of Christianity is not our persistence in moving toward God but God's persistence in moving toward us.

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

I got my first tennis racket on my seventh birthday. And because we had a tennis court in our backyard, I played every day. By ten I was playing competitively.

Only the gospel can truly save you. The gospel doesn't make bad people good; it makes dead people alive...the gospel is God's acceptance of us based on what Christ has done, not on what we can do.

If you feel compelled to respond every time you're criticized it reveals just how much you've built your identity on being right.

Even those of us who have tasted the radical saving grace of God find it intuitively difficult not to put conditions on grace.

The lifeblood of Christianity is not our persistence in moving toward God but God's persistence in moving toward us.
