God's grace is so counterintuitive and everything we do in our life is just based on conditions. You do this for me and I'll do that for you. Or if you don't do this for me, I won't do that for you. And God's grace works in a completely different direction.

People who haven't experienced major setbacks sometimes feel that their hurts are somehow less legitimate or real.

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

Even those of us who have tasted the radical saving grace of God find it intuitively difficult not to put conditions on grace.

Here's one way I can know that I've forgotten the gospel of grace: when your sin bothers me more than my sin.

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

The Bible makes it clear that self-righteousness is the premier enemy of the Gospel.
