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

I became frustrated with myself for not being as sturdy and unquestioning as I knew a man in my position should be.

When you don't have anything to lose, you discover something wonderful: you're free to take great risks without fear or reservation.

The gospel doesn't just free me from what people think of me, but also from what I think of me.

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

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

A preacher who doesn't believe he's that bad will attract people who don't think they're that bad. And that's bad.
