God's acceptance of us cannot be gained by our successes nor forfeited by our failures.

Remember on your best day that Jesus had to die for you. Remember on your worst day that he did.

Hollywood is not known as a culture of grace. Dog-eat-dog is more like it. People love you one day and hate you the next. Personal value is very much attached to box office revenues and the unpredictable and often cruel winds of fashion.

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.

The smaller you get-the smaller life makes you-the easier it is to see the grandeur of grace. While I am far more incapable than I may have initially thought, God is infinitely more capable than I ever hoped.

The deepest cry of the human heart is to be loved without condition, no matter what. The gospel of grace announces that you are.

What I'm most deeply grateful for is that God's love for us, approval of us, and commitment to us does not ride on our resolve but on Jesus' resolve for us. The gospel is the good news announcing Jesus' infallible devotion to us despite our inconsistent devotion to Him. The gospel is not a command to hang on to Jesus; it's a promise that no matter how weak and unsuccessful our faith and efforts may be, God is always holding on to us.
