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

God's acceptance of us cannot be gained by our successes nor forfeited by our failures.

The Gospel frees us to speak honestly about the reality of pain, confident that nothing is riding on our ability to cope with or fend off suffering.

People who haven't experienced major setbacks sometimes feel that their hurts are somehow less legitimate or real.

If we read the Bible asking first, 'What would Jesus do?' instead of asking 'What has Jesus done?' we’ll miss the good news that alone can set us free.

Disobedience happens not when we think too much grace but when we think too little of it

It's better to feel sorry for doing something bad than to feel superior for doing something good.
