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

While our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. God came after us not to strip away our freedom but to strip away our slavery to self, that we could become truly free.

The cross [is] the ultimate statement of God's involvement in the world on this side of heaven.

I was always in places where I was widely accepted, approved and loved and I was finally in a place where people did not approve of me, did not accept me and did not love me. It was killing me.

The world isn't scandalized by our freedom but by our fakeness.

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

The pain cleared my vision, and once it was taken away, I realized just how much I'd been relying on the endorsement of others to make me feel like I mattered.
