Every time we sin in thought, word, or deed, we're essentially saying in that moment that, "I don't need you God. I don't want you God. I like my way better than your way."

If we're not reaching the same people Jesus reached, then we're not preaching the same message Jesus preached.

Your identity is firmly anchored in Christ's accomplishment, not yours; his strength, not yours; his performance, not yours; his victory, not yours.

We don't need answers and explanations as much as we need God's presence in and through the suffering.

The people who tend to be the most gracious are those who know how badly they need grace

There are a still lot of people in today's church who can easily identify the idolatry outside the church and are pretty proud of the fact that they are not like them. And yet, we are far too slow to recognize the idolatry inside the church and more painfully, the idolatry inside our hearts.

The deepest cry of the human heart is to be loved without condition, no matter what. The gospel of grace announces that you are.
