When we reduce the notion of “calling” to work inside the church, we fail to equip our people to apply their Christian faith to everything they do, everywhere they are.

Our deepest fear is judgment. Our deepest longing is love. The gospel of grace removes the one and provides the other.

Don't get me wrong - what we do is important. But it is infinitely less important than what Jesus has done for us.

Grace loves without reference to what may or may not happen-which is precisely why such incredible things do happen!

Christian growth doesn't happen by first behaving better, but by believing better--believi ng in bigger, deeper, brighter ways what Christ has already secured for sinners.

Jesus is not the man at the top of the stairs; He is the man at the bottom, the friend of sinners, the savior of those in need of one. Which is all of us, all of the time.

Walking with God doesn't lead to God's favor; God's favor leads to walking with God.
