Contrary to what we conclude naturally, the gospel is not too good to be true. It is true! Its the truest truth in the entire universe. No strings attached! No fine print to read. No buts. No conditions. No qualifications. No footnotes. And especially, no need for balance.

The truth, whether we admit it or not, is that grace scares us to death. It scares us primarily because it wrestles control and manageability out of our hands - introducing chaos and freedom.

The gospel is not about a lifestyle that we live, it's about the law-fulfilling life that Christ lived.

Graciousness is the fruit of someone who knows how badly they themselves need grace.

My job is not to show my children that I'm the man, but to show them that Christ is the man.

Because Jesus came to secure for us what we could never secure for ourselves, life doesn't have to be a tireless effort to establish ourselves, justify ourselves, validate ourselves.

If you feel compelled to respond every time you're criticized it reveals just how much you've built your identity on being right.
