The deepest cry of the human heart is to be loved without condition, no matter what. The gospel of grace announces that you are.

For the life of the believer, one thing is beautifully and abundantly true: God's chief concern in your suffering is to be with you and be himself for you.

Grace doesn't lead us into destructive behavior. Sin does. And grace is the only remedy for sin. The kindness of God leads to repentance.

I was afraid that if I surrendered my life over to God, God would tell me not to do those things that I desperately wanted to do.

The emphasis of the Bible is on the work of the Redeemer, not on the work of the redeemed.

Real, pure, unadulterated freedom happens when the resources of the gospel smash any sense of need to secure for myself anything beyond what Christ has already secured for me.
