Christmas is the beachhead of God’s campaign against sin and sadness, darkness and death, fear and frustration.

We don't need answers and explanations as much as we need God's presence in and through the suffering.

The bad news that we are all guilty is met with the best news that God loves and forgives guilty people.

When it comes to understanding and appreciating grace, our biggest problem is our so-called goodness...not our self-perceived badness.

When Martin Luther was asked what we contribute to our salvation, he said, "Sin and resistance"

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

The way of God's grace becomes indispensable when we realize that the way of God's law is inflexible.
