The cross [is] the ultimate statement of God's involvement in the world on this side of heaven.

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

Contrary to what we conclude naturally, the gospel is not too good to be true. It is true! Its the truest truth in the entire universe. No strings attached! No fine print to read. No buts. No conditions. No qualifications. No footnotes. And especially, no need for balance.

We are all both victims and victimizers. Just as everyone suffers, no one is innocent of causing suffering themselves.

In those moments when I'm obsessively counting my sins against me, it is good news to remember that God has counted my sins against Christ.

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

There is no better news than that the God who makes the demand for perfection also meets the demand for perfection on our behalf.
