From the time God saved me at 21 years old, I've always been fascinated by the parables of Jesus.

God did not rescue me out of the pain, He rescued me through the pain!

The law is God's first word; the gospel is God's final word.

The biggest lie about grace that Satan wants the church to buy is the idea that it’s dangerous and therefore needs to be kept in check.

Our hearts are continuously rebellious. Every time we sin in thought, word, or deed, we're essentially saying in that moment that, "I don't need you God. I don't want you God. I like my way better than your way." If this goes on day after day after day, year after year, month after month, it would understandable for God to say, "I've given you ten trillion tries. You're finished." But it's not. So in that sense, His grace is always surprising, never ceases to be amazing and His mercy is remarkably outrageous.

Sanctification consists of the daily realization that in Christ we have died, and in Christ we have been raised.

God's ability to clean things up is infinitely greater than our ability to mess things up.
