God loves broken people because broken people are all that there are.

If the depths of everyone's sin was made public, we would all be much more gracious to each other.

Unfortunately, some Christians are guilty of throwing out an equivalent sentiment when they play the "God is sovereign" card as a way to trump every evil that comes your way.

I was a surfer so I hung out with people who were surfers and made fun of people who weren't surfers and I listened to surf music and made fun of people who didn't listen to surfer music.

Spiritual growth is marked by a growing realization of just how much grace you need.

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.

Christianity is in no way a stoic faith. It fundamentally rejects the "stiff upper lip" school of thought.
