While our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. God came after us not to strip away our freedom but to strip away our slavery to self, that we could become truly free.

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

Image
We make a big mistake when we conclude that the law is the answer to bad behavior. In fact, the law alone stirs up more of such behavior. People get worse, not better, when you lay down the law. To be sure, the Spirit does use both God's law and God's gospel in our sanctification. But the law and the gospel do very different things.

Christianity is in no way a stoic faith. It fundamentally rejects the stiff upper lip school of thought.

Grace could not have done it’s curing work if the law had not first done its crushing work.
