I was afraid that if I surrendered my life over to God, God would tell me not to do those things that I desperately wanted to do.

Being the middle child, I couldn't figure out where I fit in the home. I couldn't figure out whether I was the youngest of the older three or the oldest of the younger three.

The gospel doesn't just ignite the Christian life but it keeps Christians growing and growing every day. There's no reason to move beyond the gospel. There's only movement more into it.

I think it's super important for the church itself to rediscover the gospel.

My observation of Christendom is that most of us tend to base our relationship with God on our performance instead of on His grace.

God's capacity to forgive is greater than our capacity to sin; while our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. It's a message revealing the radical contrast between the sinful heart of mankind and the gracious heart of mankind's Creator.

Spiritual growth is marked by a growing realization of just how much grace you need.
