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

The only thing that frees you from the need to pretend in order to make people believe you are something when you are actually not is the gospel because the gospel tells you that identity, my meaning, my security, and all of those things are in Christ.

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

God did not rescue me out of the pain, He rescued me through the pain!

I think it's super important for the church itself to rediscover the gospel.

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

The gospel is good news to those who know they don't measure up. It's offensive to those who think they do.
