When the Christian faith becomes defined by who we are and what we do and not by who Christ is and what he did for us, we miss the gospel - and we, ironically, become more disobedient.

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

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

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.

We are all both victims and victimizers. Just as everyone suffers, no one is innocent of causing suffering themselves.

While our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. God came after us not to strip away our freedom but to strip away our slavery to self, that we could become truly free.

Graciousness is the fruit of someone who knows how badly they themselves need grace.
