Don't get me wrong - what we do is important. But it is infinitely less important than what Jesus has done for us.

Grace is upside-down, to-do-list wrecking, scandalous and way-too free. It's one-way love.

Assurance never comes from looking at ourselves. It only comes as a consequence of looking to Christ.

The smaller you get-the smaller life makes you-the easier it is to see the grandeur of grace. While I am far more incapable than I may have initially thought, God is infinitely more capable than I ever hoped.

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 focus of the Christian faith is not our morality; it is Jesus, who died for our immorality.

I was a surfer so I hung out with people who were surfers and made fun of people who weren't surfers and I listened to surf music and made fun of people who didn't listen to surfer music.
