When Martin Luther was asked what we contribute to our salvation, he said, "Sin and resistance"

I actually think one of most profoundly and deep pastoral moments between a pastor and his church is what happens between them before God in the context of preaching.

Because of Jesus the sin we cannot forget God does not remember.

If your theological convictions are not producing a deeper love for others, then it's time to rethink some stuff.

God has hardwired me to thoroughly enjoy and be sharpened by good and friendly theological discussion about the gospel.

A biblical understanding of the Christian life is not 'let go and let God,' it's 'trust God and get going.'

The truth, whether we admit it or not, is that grace scares us to death. It scares us primarily because it wrestles control and manageability out of our hands - introducing chaos and freedom.
