God's grace meets us in messy places because messy places are all that there are.

I think there is tribalism is a big deal inside of the church, that the church thinks of themselves as a tribe and not a mission.

Christmas is the beachhead of God’s campaign against sin and sadness, darkness and death, fear and frustration.

You see, the secret of the gospel is that we become more spiritually mature when we focus less on what we need to do for God and focus more on all that God has already done for us. The irony of the gospel is that we actually perform better as we grow in our understanding that our relationship with God is based on Christ's performance for us, not our performance for him.

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.

Jesus has done everything for you.

If the depths of everyone's sin was made public, we would all be much more gracious to each other.
