Long-term, gospel-motivate d obedience can only come from the grace of what Jesus has already done, not the guilt of what we must do.

God's grace is so counterintuitive and everything we do in our life is just based on conditions. You do this for me and I'll do that for you. Or if you don't do this for me, I won't do that for you. And God's grace works in a completely different direction.

The people who have taught me the most about grace are those who have blown it so bad that they know how much they need it.

The world isn't scandalized by our freedom but by our fakeness.

Mt. Sinai says, 'You must do. Mt. Calvary says, 'Because you couldn't, Jesus did.' Don't run to the wrong mountain for your hiding place

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

Job's unraveling wasn't wrong or sinful; rather, it was emotionally realistic.
