Christianity is not "Jesus is our example." Christianity is "Jesus is our substitute."

Holy Saturday. The best reminder that the silence of God doesn't equal the absence of God.

God's capacity to forgive is greater than our capacity to sin; while our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. It's a message revealing the radical contrast between the sinful heart of mankind and the gracious heart of mankind's Creator.

The passive righteousness of faith frees me from passing final judgment on myself.

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

We are all both victims and victimizers. Just as everyone suffers, no one is innocent of causing suffering themselves.

The gospel frees you from the pressure of having to fix people: your worth is located in Christ, not in their transformation.
