Before we can even begin to grapple with the frustrations and tragedies of life in this world, we must do away with our faithless morality of payback and reward.

As long as I am focusing on the faults of others, then I don't have to face my own.

The law is God's first word; the gospel is God's final word.

Our assurance is anchored in the love and grace of God expressed in the glorious exchange: our sin for His righteousness.

There's nothing like suffering to remind us how not in control we actually are, how little power we ultimately have, and how much we ultimately need God.

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

God has hardwired me to thoroughly enjoy and be sharpened by good and friendly theological discussion about the gospel.
