We make a big mistake when we conclude that the law is the answer to bad behavior. In fact, the law alone stirs up more of such behavior. People get worse, not better, when you lay down the law. To be sure, the Spirit does use both God's law and God's gospel in our sanctification. But the law and the gospel do very different things.

We are not responsible for finding the right formula to combat or unlock our suffering.

When you fail to distinguish Law and Gospel, you lose both.

People who know they are not good make the best messengers of grace because they are desperately aware of their own need for it.

The biggest lie about grace that Satan wants the church to buy is the idea that it’s dangerous and therefore needs to be kept in check.

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

My job is not to show my children that I'm the man, but to show them that Christ is the man.
