You can be sure that your deepest desires reveal important truths about your spiritual condition.

We are all both victims and victimizers. Just as everyone suffers, no one is innocent of causing suffering themselves.

The gospel brings things together. One of the great demonstration of the gospel's power is reconciliation. I've got friends who are surfers, doctors, lawyers, artists and entertainers. Some people are cool and some people are geeky. I look around at my friends and I think, only the gospel has the power to put together a friendship like this.

Real, pure, unadulterated freedom happens when the resources of the gospel smash any sense of need to secure for myself anything beyond what Christ has already secured for me.

Remember on your best day that Jesus had to die for you. Remember on your worst day that he did.

I'm not sure I'll ever fully understand why some Christians get mad when we say that the ultimate hero in the Bible is not Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Paul, etc... but Jesus.

My struggle isn't believing my performance can earn God's favor; my struggle is believing my performance can keep God's favor
