I never had an intellectual struggle with the Bible, with the gospel, with the claims of Christ.

The truth is that when it comes to suffering, if we do not go to our graves in confusion, we will not go to our graves trusting. Explanations are a substitute for trust.

We often read the Bible as if it were fundamentally about us: our improvement, our life, our triumph, our victory, our faith, our holiness, our godliness.

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

Job's unraveling wasn't wrong or sinful; rather, it was emotionally realistic.

There's nothing like suffering to remind us how not in control we actually are, how little power we ultimately have, and how much we ultimately need God.

A religious approach to marriage is the idea that if we work hard enough at something, we can earn the acceptance, approval, and life we think we deserve because of our obedient performance.
