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.

Suffering reveals to us the two things that ultimately matter: that we are weak but He is strong.

I've got three kids. I worry about them but the gospel freed me and freed my wife. We are not trying to make our kids think that we're super spiritual or we've got it all together. They see mom and dad being real people. What they hear dad talking about at home is not different from what they see from dad [at church]. That won't guarantee that they'll avoid the whole PK, MK thing. But we are hopefully not contributing to what normally produces that crisis, which is pretending.

The Christian life has been nothing more and nothing less than a daily dependence on and a rediscovery of God's grace.

Grace flows most refreshingly through the faucet of brokenness.

God's capacity to forgive is greater than our capacity to sin; while our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. It's a message revealing the radical contrast between the sinful heart of mankind and the gracious heart of mankind's Creator.

The law is God's first word; the gospel is God's final word.
