The biggest lie about grace that Satan wants the church to buy is the idea that it’s dangerous and therefore needs to be kept in check.

Because Jesus was someone, you’re free to be no one.

God is the one to be praised, not our transformation.

We are broken people living in a broken world with other broken people. We all need grace.

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.

The only thing that frees you from the need to pretend in order to make people believe you are something when you are actually not is the gospel because the gospel tells you that identity, my meaning, my security, and all of those things are in Christ.

I had turned personal validation into my primary source of meaning and value, so that without it I was miserable and depressed.
