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

The lifeblood of Christianity is not our persistence in moving toward God but God's persistence in moving toward us.

Christianity is not about good people getting better. If anything, it is good news for bad people coping with their failure to be good. The heart of the Christian faith is Good News, not good advice, good technique, or good behavior. Too many people have walked away from the church, not because they’re walking away from Jesus, but because the church has walked away from Jesus.

Even one who has been to God a million times with the same problem need not fear exhausting the grace of God.

The focus of the Christian faith is not our morality; it is Jesus, who died for our immorality.

Grace doesn't lead us into destructive behavior. Sin does. And grace is the only remedy for sin. The kindness of God leads to repentance.

Grace is the most dangerous, expectation-wre cking, smile-creating, counterintuitiv e reality there is.
