Unfortunately, some Christians are guilty of throwing out an equivalent sentiment when they play the "God is sovereign" card as a way to trump every evil that comes your way.

Jesus is not the man at the top of the stairs; He is the man at the bottom, the friend of sinners, the savior of those in need of one. Which is all of us, all of the time.

I was spending way too much time thinking about me and what I needed to do, and far too little time thinking about Jesus and what he had already done for me.

The desperate addict is closer to the heart of grace than the devout moralist.

To focus on how I'm doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism

The law demands that we do it all; the gospel declares that Jesus paid it all.

Remember on your best day that Jesus had to die for you. Remember on your worst day that he did.
