My lifestyle got so disruptive to my family that my parents had no choice but to say, "You can't live here any longer if you're going to live this way." So, I was thrilled about it - thrilled!

Christianity is not "Jesus is our example." Christianity is "Jesus is our substitute."

I've got three kids. I worry about them but the gospel freed me and freed my wife. We are not trying to make our kids think that we're super spiritual or we've got it all together. They see mom and dad being real people. What they hear dad talking about at home is not different from what they see from dad [at church]. That won't guarantee that they'll avoid the whole PK, MK thing. But we are hopefully not contributing to what normally produces that crisis, which is pretending.

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

Your pain could be God prying open your life and heart to remove a gift of His that you've been on to more dearly than Him.

Even one who has been to God a million times with the same problem need not fear exhausting the grace of God.

The law is God's first word; the gospel is God's final word.
