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

The gospel is not about a lifestyle that we live, it's about the law-fulfilling life that Christ lived.

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

The more I focused on my need to get better the worse I actually got - the more neurotic and self-conscious and self-absorbed I became.

Christianity is in no way a stoic faith. It fundamentally rejects the "stiff upper lip" school of thought.

Your pain could be God prying open your life and heart to remove a gift of His that you've been on to more dearly than Him.

The world isn't scandalized by our freedom but by our fakeness.
