Nothing makes me want to obey more than knowing that God unconditionally loves me and forgives me even when I disobey.

If your theological convictions are not producing a deeper love for others, then it's time to rethink some stuff.

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.

Disobedience happens not when we think too much grace but when we think too little of it

The pain cleared my vision, and once it was taken away, I realized just how much I'd been relying on the endorsement of others to make me feel like I mattered.

A biblical understanding of the Christian life is not 'let go and let God,' it's 'trust God and get going.'

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.
