The gospel doesn't just free me from what people think of me, but also from what I think of me.

The way of God's grace becomes indispensable when we realize that the way of God's law is inflexible.

An identity based in the one-way love of God does not take into account public opinion or, thankfully, even personal opinion.

I think there is tribalism is a big deal inside of the church, that the church thinks of themselves as a tribe and not a mission.

I think for far too long the Church has concluded that Christians don't need the gospel, it's simple what non-Christian people need in order to be saved.

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.

God wants every local church to be the first place people think to go when they've really messed up...not the last.
