Suffering reveals to us the two things that ultimately matter: that we are weak but He is strong.

The gospel is for the defeated, not the dominant.

Christianity is not about good people getting better. If anything, it is good news for bad people coping with their failure to be good. The heart of the Christian faith is Good News, not good advice, good technique, or good behavior. Too many people have walked away from the church, not because they’re walking away from Jesus, but because the church has walked away from Jesus.

My lifestyle got so disruptive to my family that my parents had no choice but to say, "You can't live here any longer if you're going to live this way." So, I was thrilled about it - thrilled!

God has hardwired me to thoroughly enjoy and be sharpened by good and friendly theological discussion about the gospel.

Graciousness is the fruit of someone who knows how badly they themselves need grace.
