When we imply that our works are for God and not our neighbor, we perpetuate the idea that God's love for us is dependent on what we do instead of on what Christ has done.

A religious approach to marriage is the idea that if we work hard enough at something, we can earn the acceptance, approval, and life we think we deserve because of our obedient performance.

The gospel doesn't make bad people good, it makes dead people alive.

Once God saves us He doesn't move us beyond the gospel, but He moves us more deeply into the gospel.

We are broken people living in a broken world with other broken people. We all need grace.

God's ability to clean things up is infinitely greater than our ability to mess things up.

I'm not sure I'll ever fully understand why some Christians get mad when we say that the ultimate hero in the Bible is not Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Paul, etc... but Jesus.
