The world tells us in a thousand different ways that the bigger we become, the freer we will be.

The good news of suffering is that it brings us to the end of ourselves - a purpose it has certainly served in my life. It brings us to the place of honesty, which is the place of desperation, which is the place of faith, which is the place of freedom.

People who know they are not good make the best messengers of grace because they are desperately aware of their own need for it.

We are broken people living in a broken world with other broken people. We all need grace.

The hub of Christianity is not do something for Jesus. The hub of Christianity is Jesus has done everything for you.

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

The focus of the Christian faith is not our morality it is Jesus, who died for our immorality.
