Even those of us who have tasted the radical saving grace of God find it intuitively difficult not to put conditions on grace.

The bad news that we are all guilty is met with the best news that God loves and forgives guilty people.

The Gospel frees us to speak honestly about the reality of pain, confident that nothing is riding on our ability to cope with or fend off suffering.

From the time God saved me at 21 years old, I've always been fascinated by the parables of Jesus.

Only when you realize that the gospel has nothing to do with your obedience but with Christ's obedience for you, will you start to obey. The only Christians who end up getting better are those who realize that if they don't get better, God will love them anyway.

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.

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