The good news of the gospel [for sufferers] is not an exhortation from above to 'hang on at all costs,' or 'grin and bear it' in the midst of hardship.

Assurance never comes from looking at ourselves. It only comes as a consequence of looking to Christ.

Grace is upside-down, to-do-list wrecking, scandalous and way-too free. It's one-way love.

To focus on how I'm doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism

The only thing that frees you from the need to pretend in order to make people believe you are something when you are actually not is the gospel because the gospel tells you that identity, my meaning, my security, and all of those things are in Christ.
